| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Delivery RAID Log |  Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs) |  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, 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. | ARID examines how well developers can work with a technical design. It focuses on a part of the system that can still be revised, between the architecture overview and the detailed specification. | 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 | Low | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 30 min Setup, dann laufend | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 60-90 min |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 1-3 maintaining, briefing for everyone | Designers, developers as users, and facilitation | 4-12 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Async | Workshop + async | 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 | RAID Log, Status Report Source | Prioritized development tasks, Jointly produced code or pseudocode, Observed difficulties and open design questions, Proposed design revisions | Annotated Diagram, Prioritized Risk List, Action Backlog |
