- Bandwidth and Context Mapping - Context Mapping, first described by Eric Evans in Domain-Driven Design, is lightweight method of drawing out the relations between systems, and parts of systems. It’s not technical per se. It exposes the politics of the organisations and the teams building the systems. As you start mapping, every edge that connects two systems, defines an upstream, and a downstream point; the latter system being the one that is affected by changes in the former. Or, to put it more graphically: if the upstream people piss in the river, the downstream people are drinking it. Pardon my French. [Mathias Verraes]
