Criterion	Architecture Quality Attribute Workshop	Decision Making Eisenhower Matrix	Decision Making Pareto Analysis	Architecture ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)
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.	In many problem situations, effect is distributed unequally across many causes. A Pareto Analysis separates the few drivers with high leverage from the long remainder and focuses attention on what measurably moves the needle.	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.
