| Criterion |  Business Strategy Strategic, Tactical and Operational Planning |  Operations Standard Work Analysis |  Business Strategy Strategy Execution Loop |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | It places decisions and artifacts at the right level. Strategic planning clarifies direction, tactical planning translates it into programs, and operational planning steers concrete processes. | When the same task is done differently depending on the person, the method exposes the reliable core. It creates comparability without unnecessarily choking off needed latitude. | The Strategy Execution Loop helps avoid treating strategy as a one-off document. It makes visible how strategic decisions are turned into objectives, initiatives, operational work, measurement, and learning. | LASR helps development teams identify where their software falls short of important quality goals and which improvements to consider. A small group with existing system knowledge can make an initial assessment and investigate open questions in more detail. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | Medium | High | Medium |
Timedifferent | 90-180 min | 1-3 h | Initial 3-6 h, then monthly or quarterly reviews | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional |
Participantsdifferent | 4-12 | 2-6 | 5-12 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people |
Formatdifferent | Workshop | Workshop | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Planning Levels Map, Cadence Model, Planning Artifact Inventory | Standard Work Sheet, Deviation List, Improved Standard, Training Needs | Execution Loop, Review Cadence, Strategic Learning Log | Lean Mission Statement describing the software’s purpose, Prioritized quality goals and evaluation criteria, Risks and estimated gaps against quality goals, More closely examined findings and open checks |
