Re: Has DDD reached it's embracing tipping point or not?

The Enterprise applications develoment community is still at large not embracing DDD. From my personal observations i am listing the top two reasons which i felt is holding them back which are indeed limited to my expodure within the offshoring teams.
1) They are so used to doing to the transformation of business model to tech specs in their inhereted documentation template/framework. Being from the service industry the development methodology needs to go through the standard documentation template prescribed by the. When i exposed a few teams to the DDD they agreed that it helped them in understanding the domain better and also resulted better code quality.
2) Secondly there needs some more determination even from the domain experts who are ready to invest time with a development team. Sometime i have seen dropping the DDD approach due to non availablity of the domain expert.

I also feel there is need for some more materials/books on step wise guide to emracing DDD. Some books similar to "Embracing TDD" or "successing with agile"
