|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | 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. | Competency Questions translate a domain model into concrete questions that it must be able to answer. The method keeps the model's scope clean and prevents pretty but useless structures. | 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 | Medium | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 2-4 h | 1-6 Wochen |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 2-8 | 4-10 |
Formatsame | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | 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 | Competency Question Set, Required Concepts, Test Queries, Coverage Matrix | 8D Report, Containment Plan, Root Cause Evidence, Corrective Action Plan |
