EventStorming Master Class - February 2024 (Berlin)

Berlin, 27th-28th February 2024, from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm each day. Trainer: Alberto Brandolini. 

This workshop is designed to be delivered in presence, and

it will take place in Berlin at the Meeet | Mitte

.

Abstract

EventStorming is a workshop format invented by Alberto Brandolini that promotes collaboration between different disciplines in order to solve business problems in the most effective way. EventStorming enables massive learning on complex business domains and promotes collaboration between different disciplines and across teams.

A visually effective problem-solving technique that puts everyone on the same page, EventStorming was greatly defined by Dan North: "In any EventStorming session of all different kinds, everyone knows what everyone else knows".

Target Audience

EventStorming is interdisciplinary. The specialistic notation is dropped in favour of an incremental 

lo-fi

 approach that allows an inclusive approach, while driving the exploration towards the most sensitive areas. Every participant will actively contribute.

Agenda

Day 1 - EventStorming as a discovery tool

Quick kick-off: where are we and where we want to go

Real-world

Big Picture EventStorming

, mastering complexity and unknowns in large-scale modelling

Managing conflicts, highlighting risk, and the problems really worth solving

The facilitator’s toolbox revealed

Improving our process exploring motivations of different actors

The Change agent’s perspective: why it’s going to be hard even when improvement is obvious, and how to deal with stalemates

Everything’s connected: Lean & Kanban, complexity and organization limits

Working with startups vs. working with established companies

EventStorming as a platform for problem-solving

ModelStorming

: modelling everything without a clue (and yet delivering amazing insights).

Day 2 – Using EventStorming to design a system

Emerging System Boundaries: from EventStorming to Bounded Contexts

Process Modelling EventStorming

: a cross-discipline platform for collaborative modelling

A different perspective on software design: the picture that explains everything

Making policies explicit. Discovering the hidden truth in business behaviour

Design around Value: hidden and explicit motivators

Software Design EventStorming

: discovering key software components

Aggregates and transactional consistency: independent moving parts in a large system

Design around the bottleneck: changing the rules of the game

Blending User Experience Design and Service Design into Software Design

Triggering bullet-proof design with visible state

The transaction illusion

From sticky notes to working software. When to go for a sophisticated architecture.

What you will learn

In this two-day EventStorming Master Class with Alberto Brandolini, we’ll practice three different flavours (Big Picture, Process Modelling and Software Design), applied to real-world business problems.

We’ll take into account the different perspectives (including the facilitator) in a process that spans large-scale discovery, to leverage collaborative design.

We’ll experience the how, and we’ll discuss the why.

F.A.Q.

Is the EventStorming Remote Modelling Workshop a comparable alternative?

Not exactly: Big Picture dynamics and principles are really different when happening in-person vs remotely, and there’s no way to have participants feel one type of the experience if you are in the other container. The Big picture is also less effective when played remotely.

The EventStorming Remote Modelling is designed to help you facilitate and design online workshops, whereas the EventStorming Master Class is aimed at teaching you how to facilitate an in-person EventStorming session.

So the answer is: no, the EventStorming Master Class and the EventStorming Remote Modelling Workshop are two different things.

Entry-level: Is there anything I need to know before joining this Master Class?

No prior experience with EventStorming is required. However, you’re welcome to check out the EventStorming Website.

Tools & Laptop: Do I need my laptop?

You won't need a laptop in order to join this Master Class. In this highly interactive workshop, you’ll be engaging with Alberto Brandolini and other attendees for the majority of the time. We'll also spend a lot of time standing and walking around, so please remember to wear comfortable shoes.

Learning materials: Will there be anything to take away with me after the Master Class is over?

Yes, there will be some booklets and other learning materials for you to take home.

N.B.

The Master Class will be confirmed upon reaching a minimum number of participants. All registered participants will be notified by email no later than 20 days prior to the workshop date.
