| Criterion |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  Operations Kaizen Event |
|---|---|---|
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. | For a tightly scoped process segment with noticeable waste, the method bundles shared energy for change. It suits situations that call for fast learning loops and visible adjustments. |
Complexitysame | Medium | Medium |
Timedifferent | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 0.5-5 Tage |
Participantsdifferent | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 4-10 |
