@innoq @kaffeecoder I‘ve always looked at DDD as a way to reflect the current state of affairs to produce software that’s mendable. As a prerequisite to do and then adapt to what you suggest: reflect the current givens and see how to improve the overall (socio-technical) system.
Primarily – and that’s a reality, too – as organizations usually don’t react well to „First, we need to challenge everything you’re currently doing“.
