Criterion	DevOps ChatOps	DevOps Incident Command	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.	During an acute incident with several people involved, the method creates a clear leadership and communication structure. It reduces chaos when fast coordination and clean situational awareness are both needed at once.	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.
