| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Facilitation Mind Mapping |  Delivery RAID Log |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | When a topic is still unclear and too many thoughts surface at once, Mind Mapping creates an open surface for ordering them. It makes connections, subtopics, and starting points visible without fixing them too early. | Helps clarify scope, sequence, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, boundaries, and order steerable. The result is captured as a RAID Log and a source for status reporting. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 15-45 min | 30 min Setup, dann laufend |
