| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Delivery Cost of Delay |  Architecture Risk Storming |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | Helps clarify scope, order, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, constraints, and sequence manageable. The result is captured as a Cost of Delay table and prioritization sequence. | Helps clarify architecture context, options, and consequences in concrete terms. It organizes technical context, alternatives, and consequences. The result is captured as an Annotated Diagram, a Prioritized Risk List, and an Action Backlog. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 90-180 min | 60-90 min |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 3-8 | 4-12 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop | Workshop |
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 | CoD Table, Prioritization Sequence | Annotated Diagram, Prioritized Risk List, Action Backlog |
