Domains - general Flashcards
What are domains?
Persistent cross-functional groups of colleagues working in an agile way. Domains create demand (or the “What”).
What do Domains allow us to separate?
Work ownership (the What) done by Domains, from capability development (the How).
What are the 3 structural layers of domains?
- Domain: Brings funding, resourcing, tech and governance in one place to deliver faster/better outcomes.
- Sub-Domain: A sub-group owning the design and delivery of customer and operational needs, services, and processes.
- Squads: Small, empowered, self-managed teams within a sub-domain accountable for design, build, and run of key elements of a domain.
Who leads each of the 3 structural layers of domains?
- Domain: Domain Lead (Executive).
- Sub-Domain: Sub-Domain Lead.
- Squads: Self-managing, functionally led by a Product Owner.

What are Capability and Supply Areas?
Groups of colleagues that share similar skills and capabilities.
They are the ‘home base’ for colleagues working in squads, providing their hard reporting line and focusing on standards, skills mastery and development.
What are the two main types of Domains?
- Customer Episode Domains - own end-to-end product/business/customer journey e.g., Home Ownership.
- Enabling Domains - Own a platform or enterprise capability like Financial Crime or Digital.
When would you see a project type initiative outside of a Domain?
Where a change is required with an end point implementation, which is not likely to exist on a persistent and ongoing basis.
What is an Engagement Domain?
A specific type of Customer Episode Domain aligned to a BU (Division). Engagement Domains own divisional-specific shared capabilities that cut across multiple products within that Division, and some domain-agnostic customer journeys.
