|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | For a critical top event with several possible triggers, the method logically models failure paths. It makes visible which combinations of conditions can lead to damage. | 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 Strategy Execution Loop helps avoid treating strategy as a one-off document. It makes visible how strategic decisions are turned into objectives, initiatives, operational work, measurement, and learning. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 2-6 h | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | Initial 3-6 h, then monthly or quarterly reviews |
Participantsdifferent | 3-8 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 5-12 |
Formatsame | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Fault Tree, Critical Paths, Cause Hypotheses, Control Actions | 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 | Execution Loop, Review Cadence, Strategic Learning Log |
