| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Agile ROAM Board |  Product Discovery Smoke Test |
|---|---|---|---|
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 work needs to move between different states or columns, it makes that movement and its handoffs legible. It sorts work by value, risk, and delivery ability. The result is captured as a ROAM Board and an Owner List. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 20-40 min initial, dann laufend | 1-5 Tage |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 3-15 | Nutzertraffic |
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 | ROAM Board, Owner List | Interest Metrics, Conversion Signal, Learning Note |
