Explanation
System Metaphor is one of the original XP (Extreme Programming) practices. It involves creating a shared, simple story or analogy that describes how the system works - a common vocabulary and mental model that all stakeholders (customers, developers, managers) can understand and use. It replaces complex architecture documents with a unifying narrative. For example, comparing a billing system to a conveyor belt gives everyone a shared conceptual framework. This promotes communication and a shared understanding across technical and non-technical team members.
