| Criterion |  Delivery Cost of Delay |  Delivery RAID Log |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Architecture Request for Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | Helps clarify scope, order, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, constraints, and sequence manageable. The result is captured as a Cost of Delay table and prioritization sequence. | Helps clarify scope, sequence, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, boundaries, and order steerable. The result is captured as a RAID Log and a source for status reporting. | LASR helps development teams identify where their software falls short of important quality goals and which improvements to consider. A small group with existing system knowledge can make an initial assessment and investigate open questions in more detail. | An RFC clarifies architecture context, options, and consequences. It structures technical context, alternatives, tradeoffs, open questions, and review feedback, and captures the result as an RFC document, reviewer comments, and a decision rationale. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Low | Medium | Medium |
Timedifferent | 90-180 min | 30 min Setup, dann laufend | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1-3 Wochen vom Draft bis zur Entscheidung |
Participantsdifferent | 3-8 | 1-3 maintaining, briefing for everyone | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 3-20 Reviewer |
Formatdifferent | Workshop | Async | Workshop + async | Async |
Outputdifferent | CoD Table, Prioritization Sequence | RAID Log, Status Report Source | Lean Mission Statement describing the software’s purpose, Prioritized quality goals and evaluation criteria, Risks and estimated gaps against quality goals, More closely examined findings and open checks | RFC document, Reviewer comments, Decision rationale, Follow-up ADR or tickets |
