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.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.
