Scenario Casting

How do we come up with good scenarios?

Find scenarios by looking for examples that show, from a domain perspective, why your ideas, questions, and concerns - or other points of interest - are relevant.

How do we work with scenarios?

A scenario is representative of a whole class of similar business processes. It enables the unbundling of domains along the processes and to tackle complex domains scenario by scenario. Customize, split and merge scenarios to focus on the things that are most relevant at the moment.

How do we use the results of Scenario Casting?

Now that we've explored the problem space a little further by fleshing out the Orientation Scenarios, let's move on to solution space and build software for it!

How do we use the Scenario Backlog?

The Scenario Backlog helps to control your project in the long term and shape the evolutionary software development process without having to commit to solution ideas too early. The Scenario Backlog is a living object. It's never too late to add new scenarios that need consideration. The Scenario Backlog is strictly limited to the problem space, thus avoiding upfront design and premature planning.

What do we use Orientation Scenarios for?

An Orientation Scenario serves many purposes: It sets a cross-team focus for the software development in the immediate future. It serves as a comprehensive test case for the correct integration of the teams' product increments. It helps to assess the complexity of the domain and better plan resources for collaborative modeling workshops.
