|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | DIBB helps clarify target groups, value, goals, and priorities by making the logic behind a decision explicit. It captures results as a DIBB document, belief list, bet list, and learning report. | 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. | When several people work toward one goal but hold different mental maps, Alignment Mapping makes the discrepancies visible. It arranges goals, assumptions, and priorities so shared direction becomes verifiable. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium | Medium |
Timedifferent | 1-2 h | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1-2 h |
Participantsdifferent | 2-8 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 4-12 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Workshop |
