Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models.

8. The Situation
No matter the product, this is a
common scenario.
● Product is very strong for a couple use cases.
● Current customers have been hacking
together different capabilities of product for
another use case.
● Many internal teams, such as GTM and
executive leadership, believe we must build
product/features for this use case.
Should we? If so, what? Why?

○ What are other parts of the user’s ecosystem? Where are potential areas for interoperability and
integrations?
14. Step 2: Map position, strengths, differentiation - Hypothesis
● Are there others with the same or similar problem?
○ Product speak: What is the market size?
○ What are our potential customer segments?
● Where and when can we capture the most ROI?
○ What are our value drivers/levers we can impact by solving this use case? New revenue? Customer
retention?
● What is so compelling about our team/company unique
○ What can be our position? What is our differentiation?
● How much of a ROI does a user need to try a solution?
○ What is the barrier to entry? Get high-level understanding of willingness-to-pay.
○ Who are the target buyer personas?
15. What I did: Study existing data
Customer value + Customer value ++ Customer value +++ Customer value ++
Strengths set 1
Strengths set 2
Strengths set 3
External data
● Industry trends
● Market size
● Competitive analysis
Internal data
● Product usage analytics
● Sales pipeline
● Win-loss analysis
● Feature requests
Question: Is this problem worth pursuing & creating initial roadmap for?
+
Answer: Hypothesis - Yes, because of alignment between customer value drivers, target personas’ needs + our
core competencies, differentiating capabilities, and business goals.
Start here
Grow here
Analysis:
16. Great, we have a hypothesis…
now what?
What would you do next?
17. Step 3: Design thinking & user-centered design
● Primary research
● Talk to actual users & customers
○ Ideal: partner with users throughout process.
○ Ideal: partner with advocates, strategic accounts, target personas/customer segments, power
users who also may be biggest critics.
● Divergent & convergent thinking

18. What I did: Aggressively iterate & gather new data
● Partner with:
○ GTM teams to identify users and customers to engage.
○ Design for research, discovery, & analysis.
○ Engineering for high level feasibility discussions and questions.
○ Champion users/customers for continuous feedback.
● Iterate on:
○ Hypothesis > leading to an initial vision statement/product positioning statement.
○ Understanding of pain points, personas, and opportunities (journey maps).
○ Design concepts.
20. Personas
Persona:
Goal:
[What is persona trying to accomplish? Roles &
responsibilities]
Information: [What data does persona need to accomplish goal?]
Actions: [What does persona do?]
Impact:
[What are value drivers/benefits of accomplishing
goal?]
Remember! There can be
many types of personas:
● User
● Buyer
● Negative/Exclusionary
(“Naysayer”)
● Primary
● Secondary
21. Design concepts
Low fidelity sketches > High fidelity UI designs
Divergent > Convergent
Questions generate ideas, variety of insights > Facts provide clarity, answers

22. Define the Product & Roadmap: Let’s
prioritize!
So many ways...your thoughts?
23. Step 4: Hypothesis > Vision: Product Positioning Statement
My format:
For [persona] who needs to [address need/accomplish outcome], [product name] is a
[product description/definition] that [provides key customer benefit(s)].
Unlike [primary alternative/competitor], [product name] is [key differentiators].
Tips:
● Be specific!
● Make it measurable!
● This is your product vision. Therefore, everything afterwards should be based on this.
24. Step 5: Prioritization
● What exactly are we
building?
● Sometimes even more
importantly: what are we
not building?
● Why?
● Many ways! Use one that
exists, combine, or create
your own.

● Captures customer value, likelihood, and effort.
● More quantitative/data-driven.
● Great to expand across roadmap & more functions.
● Can incorporate t-shirt sizing or points sizing.
● Must ensure everyone understands cutoffs
for scores.
26. My Example - MoSCoW
M ust have
S hould have
C ould have

● Works well for agile teams.
● Works for well with t-shirt sizing or points sizing
used by engineering teams.
● Can be used for easy grouping into MVP (minimum
viable product), MLP (minimum lovable product),
MMP (minimum marketable product), etc.
● Possibility of not being data driven enough -
PMs must make conscious effort to define
and communicate criteria for each category.
● Can be confusing about duration of time
period during which a requirement stays in a
specific category.
27. What I did: Simplify, simplify, simplify
● ~20 potential features > 8 features categorized into 3 distinct feature sets
● Each feature set defined with separate:
○ Releases
○ Personas
○ Detailed use case(s)
○ Target customer outcomes
○ Target success metrics
29. Step 6: Translate customer pain, product vision to whole team
● Communication
○ Clear, simple, concise
○ Consistent with defined user problem and product vision: user-centric
● Data-driven decision-making
○ Quantitative (ROI, value calculations, metrics)
○ User’s language & feedback (pain points, stories)
● Bias to action
○ Proactive
○ Iterative
○ Remove blockers quickly and test hypotheses/assumptions quickly
● End-to-end development lifecycle
○ Define & design > Build & test > Enable & train > Market > Sell > Measure customer adoption
○ Roles & responsibility within organization
30. What I did: Follow through, stay detail-oriented & consistent
● Cross-functional project management
○ Kick-off
○ Bottoms up estimation
○ Weekly syncs with release leads from each function
● Detailed requirements & sprint planning
○ At least one pager/mini-Product Requirements Document (PRD)
○ Thorough user stories with clear acceptance criteria and prioritization
○ User stories defined at least 2 sprints, estimated at least 1 sprint in advance
○ Epics for release/feature set defined at least 1 release in advance
● Quality & testing
○ Internal
○ External beta
● GTM enablement
○ Target use cases and outcomes
○ Target user and buyer personas
● Definition & measurement of success metrics
○ Relate to target outcomes, value drivers, and business goals
○ Define primary workflows and target usage metrics
○ Measure baseline
