Example Mapping: Write down domain concepts on a white sticky
How can Example Mapping help design better models?
Example Mapping: Write examples and formalise as intentions over implementation

Stories Starting With ToDos Are a Smell
Stories starting with ToDos are a smell for focusing on the “how” and not on the “why”
