|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | ARID examines how well developers can work with a technical design. It focuses on a part of the system that can still be revised, between the architecture overview and the detailed specification. | When many people in a group too rarely get to speak, 1-2-4-All distributes thinking time more fairly. The format builds participation step by step and makes quiet or still-unformed thoughts usable faster. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low | Low |
Timedifferent | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 10-20 min | 15-30 min |
Participantsdifferent | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 4-100+ | 1-6 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Prioritized development tasks, Jointly produced code or pseudocode, Observed difficulties and open design questions, Proposed design revisions | Idea List, Shared Insights, Emergent Themes | Eisenhower Matrix, Action List, Delegation Notes |
