| Criterion |  Architecture SAAM (Software Architecture Analysis Method) |  Delivery RAID Log |
|---|---|---|
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. | Helps clarify scope, sequence, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, boundaries, and order steerable. The result is captured as a RAID Log and a source for status reporting. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Low |
Timedifferent | Preparation, scenario analysis, and findings review; effort depends on scope | 30 min Setup, dann laufend |
Participantsdifferent | Architecture experts and stakeholders for scenarios and weighting | 1-3 maintaining, briefing for everyone |
Formatdifferent | 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 | RAID Log, Status Report Source |
