All learnings can be directly visualized. + +We tried this method a couple of times with different sized scopes. We believe it can be of value and has potential. + +## Method Overview +It's like brainstorming - with the goal to visualize a business line or process. + +Event Storming is done in a workshop format. + +To get a business process modeled quickly and complete, it's important to get domain experts, developers, UX and +everybody else who is involved to some extend in the related business line into one room. +With virtually unlimited space for modeling using big paper rolls put onto the walls, equipped with colored stickies +and markers, the modeling workshop can start. + +During the workshop, the goal is to model the big picture, without limiting or focusing just on parts of a process.
