Evaporating Cloud
Purposedifferent
For a process that keeps people busy but creates little value, the method exposes waste. It directs attention to unnecessary movement, waiting times, rework, and overdelivery.When a domain model and its associated contexts need to be thought through together, it creates a shared overview. It connects the business view and organizational boundary into a readable whole.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.
