| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Operations Failure Mode and Effects Analysis |  Business Strategy Strategy Execution Loop |
|---|---|---|---|
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 a process, product, or service with noticeable failure risks, the method assesses possible failure modes in advance. It directs attention to combinations of occurrence, effect, and detectability. | The Strategy Execution Loop helps avoid treating strategy as a one-off document. It makes visible how strategic decisions are turned into objectives, initiatives, operational work, measurement, and learning. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High | High |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 2-6 h | Initial 3-6 h, then monthly or quarterly reviews |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 3-10 | 5-12 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop | 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 | FMEA Table, Risk Priority, Mitigation Actions | Execution Loop, Review Cadence, Strategic Learning Log |
