FLOWCON '19

Speaker Pitch
Event Storming is a great tool to explore complex domains and put things quickly in motion, from big picture to software design. The format is easy to understand, and provided you have the right number of stickies and markers, you can jump into an Event Storming session is a blitz.

However, during the first edition of the Event Storming Summit in July 2018, I came to realize something. Most of the people who were present at the summit, who were advanced Event Storming practitioners and had facilitated loads of sessions, came from a technical background. To become good at facilitating an Event Storming, we all had to acquire a whole new skillset that we did not possess upfront, new facilitation skills.

In this talk, we will explore how you can improve your skills to become a better Event Storming facilitator. I will share my experience as a DDD practitioner, an agile coach and a serious player to address different techniques and open new perspectives, mixing things up a little. We will explore for example professional training approaches, playfulness, coaching postures and questioning techniques. And we will review some of the most dreadful anti-patterns and pitfalls you can reach as a facilitator.

Whether you are new at Event Storming or you already have experience, you will end this talk with a richer and broader perspective on your job as a facilitator.

Pourquoi nous l'avons choisi ?
Parce que nous voulions une session plus avancée sur l'event storming après 2 années de sessions d'initiation. Cette session va vous donner des pistes pour aller plus loin. Pour ceux qui voudraient une session plus débutant, allez voir du côté de Thomas Pierrain et Bruno Boucard.
