The big up front design phase that lasts for months (if not quarters) is going to be a tough sell when the AI brought to bear is touted as a major time saver: in the minds of the buyers, either the machines speed things up or they dont. This has ramifications for the consulting business model. Not the customers business.

Domain-Driven Design is an approach to designing systems, usually software, that emphasises creating a common language between domain experts and system builders. Here’s an example I use in talks and workshops: How to group these concepts into domains? This is normal, embrace the fuzziness and apply design thinking.

Is there any way it’s possible to predict the future so that our architecture can easily absorb the changes we need to make of it? One thing I want you to notice is that good architecture is about more than just defining good boundaries. In DDD a bounded context is an independent, loosely-coupled architectural component.

One of the challenges I see regularly is inertia following domain discovery workshops.
