Service Blueprints: Understanding your System’s Current State
When attempting to modernize an existing system, you need to build up an understanding of how the business works and the complexities of the existing system in order to answer questions such as:
- Where do we start?
- What are the pain points and risks associated with the existing system?
- How can we incrementally modernize the system?
Service Blueprints allow you to
- Help understand the big picture of the system and can serve as a foundation for using other techniques like Value Stream Mapping, EventStorming, etc and other domain-driven analysis methods.
- Help build a shared understanding of the system among the different teams that are responsible for fulfilling a business capability
- Create a repeatable and structured way that is remote friendly and collaborative to understand the complexity of your domain.
What you’ll learn
- What are Service Blueprints?
- How to use them effectively to understand the current state of your system in a hands-on exercise?
