What is the purpose of 'the Event Storming workshop maps the domain'?
Event Storming is a collaborative modeling workshop invented by Alberto Brandolini. Participants use colored sticky notes to map out domain events, commands, and actors across the full business process on a large wall or virtual board.

In Event Storming, what does 'the sticky note represents a domain event'?
In Event Storming notation, orange sticky notes represent domain events — meaningful things that happened, expressed in past tense. They are the backbone of the model and drive the discovery of the full business process.

What does 'the command triggers the event' mean in Event Storming?
In Event Storming, commands (blue stickies) represent decisions or actions — typically expressed in imperative form. Commands cause aggregates to process them, resulting in domain events being emitted.

A facilitator says 'we identified 3 aggregates in the payment bounded context'. What does this mean?
Aggregates (yellow stickies) are consistency boundaries identified during Event Storming — they group related commands and events. Finding 3 aggregates means the team discovered 3 distinct domain objects that enforce business rules.

What is 'the hot spot' in Event Storming notation?
Hot spots (often pink stickies) are used by facilitators to flag areas where participants have questions, disagreements, or uncertainty. They are parking-lot markers to revisit rather than blockers that slow the workshop down.
