| Criterion |  Agile Example Mapping |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Architecture Software Architecture Canvas |  Architecture Quality Attribute Workshop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a story carries business rules and exceptions, it brings clarity before implementation. It makes examples, open questions, and boundaries visible enough that the logic becomes jointly sound. | 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 Software Architecture Canvas reduces a system to the most important architecture decisions, constraints, and interfaces. It is useful when teams need a resilient overall picture quickly. | A Quality Attribute Workshop translates quality requirements into concrete scenarios and architecture impulses. The method brings product, engineering, and operations to the same view of desired properties. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium | Low | Medium |
Timedifferent | 30-60 min | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1-2 h | 2-4 h |
Participantsdifferent | 3-7 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 3-10 | 5-15 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop | Workshop + async | Workshop | Workshop |
Outputdifferent | Example Map, Acceptance Criteria, Open Questions | 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 | Architecture Canvas, Goals, Constraints, Quality Attributes | Quality Scenarios, Priority List, Architecture Concerns |
