|---|---|---|---|---|
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. | The Strategy Execution Loop helps avoid treating strategy as a one-off document. It makes visible how strategic decisions are turned into objectives, initiatives, operational work, measurement, and learning. | ATAM helps teams weigh architecture decisions when quality goals compete. The team considers business goals, stakeholder expectations, and technical decisions together. The evaluation shows which risks need further investigation. | 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 | High | High | Low |
Timedifferent | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | Initial 3-6 h, then monthly or quarterly reviews | Several meetings plus preparation and analysis; total effort depends on scope | 30 min Setup, dann laufend |
Participantsdifferent | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 5-12 | Evaluation team, architects, and relevant stakeholders | 1-3 maintaining, briefing for everyone |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | 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 | Execution Loop, Review Cadence, Strategic Learning Log | Prioritized quality scenarios in a utility tree, Architecture risks with reasoning and assumptions, Sensitivity and trade-off points, Findings report with open investigations | RAID Log, Status Report Source |
