Alberto Brandolini
Short biography:
Alberto Brandolini is a 360° software expert, always looking for the missing ingredient to make things a little better.
He founded Avanscoperta in 2009 to improve the digital landscape in Italy and worldwide, with Domain-Driven Design and Agile as crucial ingredients.
In 2013, Alberto came up with the EventStorming idea. It started as a tool to model complex business processes quickly in a Domain-Driven Design fashion. But over the years, it evolved into an incredibly versatile tool for modelling organisations, processes, and software, intentionally crossing the lines between business and tech. The ability to uncover hidden problems in a very short time allowed Alberto to build unique cross-discipline expertise after modelling many different domains and businesses around the world.
EventStorming was one of the factors behind the DDD renaissance and contributed to the rise of the Collaborative Modelling movement.
His book Introducing EventStorming is probably the most successful unfinished book on the Leanpub platform.
Alberto is also the person behind the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle.
