|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | A Quality Attribute Workshop translates quality requirements into concrete scenarios and architecture impulses. The method brings product, engineering, and operations to the same view of desired properties. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | 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. |
