|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | For a deviation after a change, the method isolates the influence of the altered condition. It narrows down which differences are relevant and which are just accompanying noise. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | 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. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
