| Criterion | ![]() Architecture Request for Comments | ![]() Facilitation Problem Framing Workshop |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | An RFC clarifies architecture context, options, and consequences. It structures technical context, alternatives, tradeoffs, open questions, and review feedback, and captures the result as an RFC document, reviewer comments, and a decision rationale. | When a team works on symptoms but the real question stays fuzzy, a Problem Framing Workshop sharpens the view of the right problem. It separates observation, interpretation, and target picture from each other. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Low |
Timedifferent | 1-3 Wochen vom Draft bis zur Entscheidung | 60-120 min |
Participantsdifferent | 3-20 Reviewer | 4-10 |
