| Criterion |  DevOps Incident Command |  Architecture ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method) |  Product Discovery Experiment Canvas |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | During an acute incident with several people involved, the method creates a clear leadership and communication structure. It reduces chaos when fast coordination and clean situational awareness are both needed at once. | ATAM helps teams weigh architecture decisions when quality goals compete. The team considers business goals, stakeholder expectations, and technical decisions together. The evaluation shows which risks need further investigation. | When experiments become unreadable after the fact, it arranges hypothesis, signal, and learning goal on a single canvas. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a Completed Experiment Canvas and a Success Metric. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High | Low |
Timedifferent | As needed | Several meetings plus preparation and analysis; total effort depends on scope | 30-60 min |
