Selected:Quality Attribute Workshop Getting Things Done Architecture Decision Record ARID (Active Reviews for Intermediate Designs)

Criterion	Architecture Quality Attribute Workshop	Operations Getting Things Done	Architecture Architecture Decision Record	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.	With many open commitments and ideas in daily life, a reliable external storage system emerges. The method relieves the mind so priority and context don't have to compete in memory.	An ADR permanently records an architecture decision with context, trade-offs, and consequence. It creates continuity for later changes because the decision path stays traceable.	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.
