A initial project-wide activity with domain and development members under the guidance of an experienced object
modeller in the role of Chief Architect.
A high-level walkthrough of the scope of the system and its context is performed. Detailed domain walkthroughs are then
held for each area to be modelled. After each domain walkthrough, small teams are formed with a mix of domain and
development staff who then compose their own models in support of that domain walk-through. The teams each present
their models for peer review and discussion. One of the proposed models, or a merge of the models, is selected by
consensus thus becoming the model for that domain area. A merge of the domain area model into an overall model is
performed, adjusting model shape as required.
The object model is then iteratively updated with content by the Design by Feature process #4.
