| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Innovation Design Thinking |  Delivery Cost of Delay |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | For complex user problems with an uncertain cause, the method connects observation, interpretation, and experiment into a learning cycle. It keeps the focus on real needs and avoids premature solution language. This produces robust decisions for product and service. | 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. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High | High |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1 Tag bis mehrere Wochen | 90-180 min |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 4-10 | 3-8 |
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 | Problem Statement, Prototype, Test Learnings | CoD Table, Prioritization Sequence |
