|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | SAAM helps teams judge an architecture’s suitability for selected tasks and changes. It is particularly useful for examining modifiability and comparing architecture alternatives with clear reasoning. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | For an acute quality or delivery problem, the method structures immediate protection and root cause work together. It keeps the situation stable while the actual cause is investigated cleanly. | For easily distracted solo work, the method sets clear time boundaries for concentrated work. It protects attention when large tasks would otherwise fall apart into small avoidance moves. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Low | High | Low |
Timedifferent | Preparation, scenario analysis, and findings review; effort depends on scope | 15-90 min daily | 1-6 Wochen | 25 min Zyklen |
Participantsdifferent | Architecture experts and stakeholders for scenarios and weighting | 1 | 4-10 | 1 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Async | Workshop + async | Async |
Outputdifferent | Domain functions mapped to components and connections, Quality attributes and evaluation criteria, Typical tasks and their effects on the architecture, Reasoned evaluation or comparison of alternatives | Priority Task, Completion Note, Daily Focus | 8D Report, Containment Plan, Root Cause Evidence, Corrective Action Plan | Focus Sessions, Task Progress, Interruption Notes |
