|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | Event Modeling connects business workflows with commands, events, and views into one coherent mental model. It helps design behavior, UI, and technical slices from the same underlying logic. | 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. | The 5-Minute VC Check clarifies opportunities and strategic options at the earliest idea stage. It compares problem quality, customer willingness to pay, alternatives, differentiation, and market potential, and captures the result as a VC-check note, go/sharpen/park decision, and risk list. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 2-6 h | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 5-15 min |
Participantsdifferent | 2-8 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 1-5 |
Formatsame | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
