Module 1: Strategic DDD and problem framing

• Ubiquitous language and core domain focus

• Bounded contexts and team aligned boundaries

• Context mapping partnership, customer supplier, conformist

• Visual collaboration techniques quick event storming and domain canvases

Module 2: From domain narratives to models

• Commands, policies, and events as storytelling tools

• Capability slices and domain workflows

• Discovering aggregates through invariants and transactional rules

• Aligning models with outcomes and KPIs

Module 3: Tactical building blocks

• Entities and value objects identity, equality, and immutability

• Aggregates consistency boundaries and reference patterns

• Domain services when behavior is not owned by an entity

• Repositories intent revealing persistence and specs

Module 4: Architecture alignment

• Hexagonal architecture ports, adapters, and application services

• Application layer vs domain layer responsibilities

• CQRS where it helps and where it does not

• Event sourcing at a glance tradeoffs and readiness checks

Module 5: Integrating bounded contexts

• Translation layers and anti corruption layer patterns

• Published language and contracts for interoperability

• Versioning strategies for APIs and messages

• Context mapping to infrastructure choices

Module 6: Process orchestration

• Sagas and process managers modeling long running flows

• Consistency models eventual, transactional outbox, and idempotency
