Figure 2.7 Overview of strategic DDD of the problem space combined with Wardley Mapping
In the problem space of strategic design, domain experts and development teams analyze the problem domain. In connection with the value chain of a Wardley Map, the users and their user needs not only represent the anchor of the map, but also reflect the problem domain from a DDD perspective. The problem domain consists of subdomains. Not all subdomains are equally valuable to the business in terms of differentiation. The differentiating core domain is the business-critical subdomain of a problem domain, which provides the organization with a competitive advantage.
In this chapter, the Wardley Map of the conference event planner solution created in Chapter 1 was complemented with patterns from strategic design. This chapter analyzed the problem domain and discovered its corresponding core, supporting, and generic subdomains. The subdomain types mapped to the Wardley Map’s evolution stages help prioritize the strategic investment and support build–buy–outsource decisions for the subdomains’ solutions. Speaking of solutions, the next chapter addresses the solution space of strategic design.
