Cover art for Context Maps for Distributed Teams

Description

This studio blends Eric Evans vocabulary with facilitation scripts so architects can run a context-mapping workshop without derailing into politics. You leave with a wall-sized map, naming rules, and a backlog of boundary experiments.

What is included

  • Facilitator scripts for heated mapping sessions
  • Upstream/downstream negotiation worksheets
  • Anti-corruption layer sketch templates
  • Recording pack for async teammates in other time zones
  • Miro + physical wall hybrid playbook
  • Glossary export for onboarding packets
  • Follow-up office hours with a systems mentor

Outcomes

  • Publish a context map your product trio trusts
  • Prioritize three boundary experiments with owners
  • Ship a glossary that survives the next re-org

Mentor on record

Former platform lead at a logistics scale-up; now coaches architects on naming and boundaries.

"The Context Maps for Distributed Teams workbook forced us to name our upstream debt instead of hand-waving it. Still rough around facilitation timing, but the mentor notes on our map were surgical."

"Short verdict: worth it for the glossary export alone."
