What is domain knowledge?
The term “domain knowledge” is used to describe a sphere of knowledge in a specific field or industry. Commonly used in the technology industry, this term refers to an individual’s capabilities beyond his or her basic skill set. For example, someone applying for a project management position on a development team might be expected to have domain knowledge about DevOps development methodologies, tools and environments.
Domain knowledge in this sense is a subjective concept whose meaning depends more on circumstances than a dictionary definition. For example, a software engineer’s domain knowledge might refer to knowledge about an application’s operating environment or about the way end users interact with the application.
