## What it is
A step-by-step guide for learning and applying Domain-Driven Design, from understanding a business model to coding a domain model. It is a community-maintained process document (not software) aimed at DDD beginners.

## Use cases
- learn domain-driven design from scratch
- guide a greenfield project kickoff with DDD
- start a brownfield migration using DDD
- structure a DDD modelling workshop
- assess the current state of a project with DDD practices
- find DDD tools and techniques for each modelling step

## When to choose
- you are new to DDD and need a structured starting point
- you are kicking off a greenfield project or major program of work
- you want a curated map of DDD tools and techniques per phase

## When to avoid
- you need executable software or a library
- you are an experienced DDD practitioner with an established process
- you want a rigid, prescriptive methodology to standardise

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: domain-driven-design, software-architecture, modelling-process, guide, ddd-crew
