| Criterion |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Innovation Round Robin Brainstorming |  Facilitation 1-2-4-All |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | With unevenly distributed speaking time, the method brings every person into the contribution one after another. It prevents early voices from setting the direction while still producing a shared idea space. This makes participation plannable and the team's diversity visible. | When many people in a group too rarely get to speak, 1-2-4-All distributes thinking time more fairly. The format builds participation step by step and makes quiet or still-unformed thoughts usable faster. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 20-45 min | 10-20 min |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 4-10 | 4-100+ |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop | 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 | Idea List, Cluster, Shortlist | Idea List, Shared Insights, Emergent Themes |
