What software to use for Event Storming?

With regard to Event Sourcing and Domain Driven Design, I'm looking for a good software solution to help my team model our Aggregates electronically during an Event Storming session.

I have considered simple sticky note applications but they leave a lot to be desired such as the ability to save and share.

So what would you recommend as a good Event Storming software?

Solution

  • I think you only get opinionated answers. Tools that you really need to consider:

    1. Paper roll, preferably plotter roll since it is dense enough and wide enough. For more vertical space put two strips, one below the other. Take a photo when you are done, share it with others. It is OK to scrap the roll since for the next session it would be beneficial to re-create the picture again and it will be better (see WET - write everything twice)
    2. Online tools that have sticky notes of different colours and sizes. These should only be used if you have a distributed online session. I know two online tools that allow real-time collaboration, we use one and tried another, which is also very good. You choose yourself. I do not work for any of those.
