| Criterion |  Decision Making Force Field Analysis |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | In change initiatives, supporting and restraining forces sit at the table at the same time. Force Field Analysis makes these tensions explicit and shows where change can be pushed forward by strengthening or relieving. | ARID examines how well developers can work with a technical design. It focuses on a part of the system that can still be revised, between the architecture overview and the detailed specification. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium |
Timedifferent | 45-90 min | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional |
