We've been applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) more rigorously this year, especially in how we define team boundaries.
Key insights:
- Bounded contexts = natural team alignment
- Avoid shared ownership of core domains
- Use event contracts to reduce tight coupling between teams
Reference: Team Topologies also helped rethink interaction modes — X-as-a-Service vs Collaboration vs Facilitation.
Result: fewer integration headaches and more clarity in ownership.
