Choose a service boundary
Decide which service or change the board should explain. Show the user need alongside the technical scope.
Make the service and its dependencies easier to see.
Map systems, requests and ownership in a shared space. Help technical and non-technical colleagues discuss the same service with enough context.
Hosts sign up. Guests join with a name.
Build a picture people can question.
Map dependencies and ownership
Add the systems, teams and information flows involved. Note where an assumption needs checking with another owner.
Walk a change or failure
Discuss how a proposed change would affect the picture, or what happens when a dependency is unavailable.
An example session
