Build or Buy Software? Identify your core bounded contexts with Event Storming and DDD
Event Storming and DDD are great at identifying bounded contexts. Itâs even more valuable to identify the core contexts to focus on, and the generic ones to buy. This activity will help your team to prioritize more valuable work, and to reduce maintenance by choosing the good software to build or buy.
