| Criterion |  Knowledge Modeling Domain Storytelling |  Knowledge Modeling Knowledge Mapping |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | Domain Storytelling translates domain knowledge into a shared narrative of actors, objects, and workflows. It is especially useful when language, rules, and process understanding must be tightly connected. | Knowledge Mapping makes knowledge, gaps, and transfer paths visible across a field. It fits when expertise should not just exist but also be findable and transferable. | 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 | Low | Medium | Medium |
Timedifferent | 1-2 h | 1-3 h | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional |
Participantsdifferent | 2-8 | 3-12 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people |
Formatdifferent | Workshop | Workshop | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Domain Story, Glossary Notes, Process Narrative | Knowledge Map, Critical Knowledge Areas, Transfer Plan | 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 |
