Collaborative Software Design Workshop

Do your modeling sessions suffer from silence, circular arguments, or dominance by the loudest voice in the room? Is there a persistent gap between Business and IT that leads to software products that miss the mark?

Effective software design hinges on strong collaboration. But let’s be honest: collaboration is messy. Misunderstandings, hidden assumptions, and social dynamics often undermine even the best technical plans. While collaborative modeling tools provide the visual canvas, they don’t solve the human problem. Collaboration is not innate; it is a discipline.

The Collaborative Software Design Workshop (based on the book Collaborative Software Design) with Kenny Baas-Schwegler and Gien Verschatse is designed to close the gap between technical modeling and social dynamics. We’ll move beyond the “happy path” of cooperation and look at what actually happens when people disagree.

This course tackles the hardest part of software design: the people.
You will gain insight into how cognitive biases, and conflict patterns influence the architecture of your software and practice how to facilitate the “invisible” dynamics of the room, learning to spot how social ranking, silence, and behavior influence the architecture.

We’ll provide you with the practical facilitation skills needed to guide a group and lead impactful modeling sessions.
