Off Topic: Unlocking Business Value with Domain-Driven Design

The best justification for using any technology or technique is to provide value to the business. Developing software delivering actual business value differs from developing ordinary business software. Use DDD to model a complex domain in the simplest possible way. Never use DDD to make your solution more challenging. Most developers have had to change how they think about applying DDD. We, developers, are technical thinkers. Technical solutions come to us. It's not that thinking is terrible. It's that there are times when thinking less is better. When working with a specific domain, think of the standard terms and actions of the model. A Domain, in the broad sense, refers to what an organization does and the world it operates in. The User Interface should only contain code that addresses user view and request concerns.
