Purposedifferent
Domain Storytelling translates domain knowledge into a shared narrative of actors, objects, and workflows. It is especially useful when language, rules, and process understanding must be tightly connected.When several contexts need to talk to each other, it makes their relationships and dependencies legible. It helps sort integration pressure and responsibilities across system boundaries.In cross-functional decisions, responsibilities quickly blur between approval, influence, and execution. DACI arranges these roles so decision pressure, contribution, and information stay cleanly separated.
