| Criterion |  Knowledge Modeling Feynman Technique |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Operations 8D Problem Solving |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | The Feynman Technique checks understanding by explaining a topic so that it stays easy for others to understand. It makes knowledge gaps visible before they become costly in everyday work. | 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. | For an acute quality or delivery problem, the method structures immediate protection and root cause work together. It keeps the situation stable while the actual cause is investigated cleanly. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 20-60 min | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1-6 Wochen |
Participantsdifferent | 1 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 4-10 |
Formatdifferent | Async | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Plain-language Explanation, Knowledge Gaps, Study Notes | 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 | 8D Report, Containment Plan, Root Cause Evidence, Corrective Action Plan |
