A (really) Quick Introduction to Event Storming
4 likes1,364 views
Event Storming is a technique for modeling complex systems and processes. It involves gathering people from different backgrounds to collect facts about events and constantly review the model as new information emerges. The key benefits are that it helps keep everyone engaged in discovery and taming complexity, builds shared understanding, and works towards shared goals. While not replacing other modeling tools, it is especially useful for complexity involving rules, policies, and connected systems more than interfaces.

- 28. Recipe Gather people with different backgrounds together Collect events (IE facts) Feel free to stick / scratch notes, and constantly review the model as new stuff (aka complexity) emerges Make sure your modeling surface is big enough. You want to make sure you can explore, discover new things. (Sticking as many notes as possible within a tiny phisical space is not the point)

- 36. Key Points Not an alternative to existing UX oriented modeling techniques Especially useful where complexity (rules, policies, connected systems, ...) is more prominent than interaction Gets people with different backgrounds together Its based on facts and discovery at the same time. This helps keeping everyone (IE developers, designers, managers, ) always involved and engaged. At every session, you can expect many Wow moments and unexpected outcomes Helps discovering (and taming) complexity Builds a shared understanding of the context; a shared vocabulary. And, most importantly, shared goals (...when people are all working towards the same direction, its much easier to achieve a goal. To share an idea for a solution)
