Extended Abstract:
Collaborative modeling techniques help teams bridge the gap between business and technology, fostering a shared understanding of complex domains. Event Storming has gained popularity as a powerful tool for uncovering domain knowledge, but it’s just one piece of a broader toolbox.

In this session, we’ll take a glimpse into the landscape of collaborative modeling methods. We’ll briefly explore complementary approaches like Impact Mapping, Domain Storytelling, User Story Mapping, and Wardley Mapping—each with its strengths in different contexts. You’ll get a sense of when to apply which technique, how to combine them effectively, and how they can support better decision-making in software design and business strategy.

Whether you’re new to collaborative modeling or looking to refine your approach, this talk will provide practical insights and inspiration to enhance your modeling sessions.
