| Criterion |  Systems Thinking Current Reality Tree |  DevOps Incident Timeline Analysis |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | A Current Reality Tree condenses many symptoms into a few causal chains. The method makes visible which core problems drive several negative effects at once. | For an incident with an unclear sequence, the method makes the timeline precisely visible. It separates perception, reaction, and delay so cause and effect become more clearly readable. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Medium |
Timedifferent | 2-6 h | 60-180 min |
Participantsdifferent | 3-8 | 3-10 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Current Reality Tree, Core Problems, Intervention Ideas | Incident Timeline, Evidence Log, Delay Analysis, Improvement Actions |
