|---|---|---|---|
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. | 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. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Low | Medium |
Timedifferent | 2-6 h | 30 min Setup, dann laufend | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional |
Participantsdifferent | 3-8 | 1-3 maintaining, briefing for everyone | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people |
Formatdifferent | Workshop | Async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Current Reality Tree, Core Problems, Intervention Ideas | 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 |
