EventStorming: Start enforcing the timeline when everyone added their domain events
When do we start to structure the EventStorming by enforcing the timeline
EventStorming: Switch to Example Mapping when discussing examples of business rules
When do we switch to example mapping from EventStorming?
EventStorming: Use as-is process modelling when exploring a brown field problem space
When shall I use process modelling eventstorming for as-is discovery of my problem space?
Use consistent language between visual collaboration tools
How can we refine and create an ubiquitous language?
EventStorming: Use standing table
The no-table rule has an exception
EventStorming: Use to-be process modelling when exploring a green field problem space
When shall I use process modelling eventstorming for to-be discovery of my problem space?
EventStorming: When there is a story to tell, start with EventStorming
When should I use EventStorming?

Example Mapping: Split business rule above three examples
When can we discover more business rules during example mapping?
Example Mapping: Split business rule when an example has more than one check
When can we discover more business rules during example mapping?
Example Mapping: Split the story on business rules
How can we split a story up?
Example Mapping: Use a maximum of 20 minutes for a story
How long does Example Mapping take?
Example Mapping: Visualise Examples
How can we create a better shared understanding about the examples?
Example Mapping: Write down any future wishes on a red sticky
How can we pick the better fit model to accomodate for future wishes?
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
How can we remove the constraints of the current systen?
Explore language: change language on purpose to change how people think
How can we battle confirmation bias while designing and modelling?

How do we keep the interaction going in a remote EventStorming?
Remote EventStorming: Use a mob programming style enforcing the timeline
How do we engage people during a remote EventStorming?
