Speak the Same Ubiquitous Language

Eric Evans’ idea of Ubiquitous Language is simple but powerful: the team needs a shared model and vocabulary for the problem domain. That model should be understandable to everyone: the builders, managers, operations, and the customers. So that the conversations, designs, and tests all line up. Maintain a living “data dictionary” with concise terms that describe the data and the processes that change it. Discussions for your team Do we currently have names for the core domain concepts that make sense to everyone? Where can we capture and store terms in a shared glossary? Do we use this language in our acceptance tests?
