Will DDD work for your team? by Eric Evans


Will DDD work for your team?
Four prerequisites for Domain-driven Design


by Eric Evans

Instead of grinding your gears trying to express elegant models, you'd do better to direct your efforts toward establishing these conditions for success.

This is real life, and nothing is perfect. However, you really must have some form of the following,
  • Access to domain experts
  • An iterative process
  • A clean, bounded context
  • Skills on the team
