Selected:ChatOps Delphi Method Architecture Decision Record ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)

Criterion	DevOps ChatOps	Decision Making Delphi Method	Architecture Architecture Decision Record	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)
Purposedifferent	For operational work in a distributed team, the method links communication with direct system control. It records decisions right where the signal, the context, and the execution come together.	When knowledge is distributed and direct dominance should be avoided, groups quickly fall under the sway of their opinion leaders. The Delphi Method gathers assessments iteratively and gradually brings expert judgments closer together.	An ADR permanently records an architecture decision with context, trade-offs, and consequence. It creates continuity for later changes because the decision path stays traceable.	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.
