| Criterion |  Architecture ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method) |  Agile ROAM Board |  Knowledge Modeling NeOn Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | 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. | When work needs to move between different states or columns, it makes that movement and its handoffs legible. It sorts work by value, risk, and delivery ability. The result is captured as a ROAM Board and an Owner List. | The NeOn Methodology structures ontology work as a controlled process with reuse, scenarios, and reviews. It is useful when ontologies should not emerge ad hoc but modularly and reusably. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Low | High |
Timedifferent | Several meetings plus preparation and analysis; total effort depends on scope | 20-40 min initial, dann laufend | Mehrere Wochen bis Monate |
Participantsdifferent | Evaluation team, architects, and relevant stakeholders | 3-15 | 2-10 |
