Seeing the System: Using EventStorming to Understand, Challenge, and Redesign Software

Whether you’re working with legacy systems, planning new features, or reviewing a team’s proposed data model, EventStorming is a powerful tool for surfacing what really matters in your architecture. In this session, you’ll learn how EventStorming has helped teams uncover the real scope of a project, reconstruct the logic behind legacy features, facilitate stakeholder conversations, and challenge questionable architectural assumptions. We’ll walk through practical patterns and real examples: how to run effective sessions, what kinds of conversations to look for, and how to use EventStorming to bring clarity to both technical and business perspectives. If you’re an architect or senior developer looking for ways to cut through complexity and design with confidence, this talk is for you.
