Criterion	Architecture Architecture Communication Canvas	Operations Ivy Lee Method	Operations Eat the Frog	Architecture ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method)
Purposedifferent	The Architecture Communication Canvas plans architecture communication so the right people receive the right message. The method turns technical complexity into deliberate communication design.	With a restless workday full of too many open items, the method creates radical simplicity. It directs attention to a short sequence instead of a broad, still-open field.	The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.	ATAM helps teams weigh architecture decisions when quality goals compete. The team considers business goals, stakeholder expectations, and technical decisions together. The evaluation shows which risks need further investigation.
