Criterion	DevOps ChatOps	DevOps Incident Command	Architecture Architecture Inception Canvas	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.	The Architecture Inception Canvas bundles the first architecture questions into a compact decision picture. It fits when an initiative is still in motion but still needs clear guardrails.	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.
