Don’t spend months building the wrong software! Collaborative Software Design is a unique and practical guide for effectively involving all stakeholders in the design of software to ensure sustainable design decisions.
In Collaborative Software Design you’ll learn how to:
Prepare and facilitate collaborative modeling sessions with tools such as Business Model Canvas, Event Storming, Domain Storytelling, Example Mapping, and Wardley Mapping
Pick and apply heuristics for modeling software design
Techniques for getting all needed knowledge from the group
The influence of ranking
The impact and opportunities of cognitive bias
Resistance and conflict resolution
Practices for following up after a modeling session
Document the session and report to stakeholders
Collaborative Software Design combines its authors’ deep experience in behavioral science, decision-making theory and software architecture into an essential guide for making collaborative design decisions. You’ll learn to use process visualizations, engaging sessions, and social dynamic management to ensure every stakeholder is contributing their vital insights to a project. Best of all, the skills you’ll learn make it easy for software teams to develop software directly with their stakeholders—no need to rely on a centralized or top-down design.
