| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Delivery MoSCoW |  Architecture Architecture Decision Record |
|---|---|---|---|
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 release carries too many demands and priorities are only ever negotiated, MoSCoW creates clear boundaries for the next cut. Must, Should, Could, and Won't make commitment, room for maneuver, and trade-off logic visible to everyone involved. | An ADR permanently records an architecture decision with context, trade-offs, and consequence. It creates continuity for later changes because the decision path stays traceable. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 30-90 min | 15-45 min |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 3-12 | 1-3 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | 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 | Prioritized Backlog, Release Scope, Tradeoff Notes | ADR File, Decision Log, Rationale |
