| Criterion |  Architecture SAAM (Software Architecture Analysis Method) |  Delivery RAID Log |  Facilitation Stakeholder Salience Model |
|---|---|---|---|
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. | When stakeholders appear to matter very differently, the Stakeholder Salience Model rates their actual priority through power, legitimacy, and urgency. It turns individual contributions into a visible selection. The result is captured as a Salience diagram and a class-based strategy. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Low | Medium |
Timedifferent | Preparation, scenario analysis, and findings review; effort depends on scope | 30 min Setup, dann laufend | 60-90 min |
Participantsdifferent | Architecture experts and stakeholders for scenarios and weighting | 1-3 maintaining, briefing for everyone | 3-6 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Async | Workshop |
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 | Salience Diagram, Strategy per Class |
