Selected:Quality Attribute Workshop Eisenhower Matrix Software Architecture Canvas ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)

Criterion	Architecture Quality Attribute Workshop	Decision Making Eisenhower Matrix	Architecture Software Architecture Canvas	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.	The Software Architecture Canvas reduces a system to the most important architecture decisions, constraints, and interfaces. It is useful when teams need a resilient overall picture quickly.	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.
