Selected:Strategy Execution Loop Stakeholder Salience Model ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method)

Criterion	Business Strategy Strategy Execution Loop	Facilitation Stakeholder Salience Model	Architecture ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method)
Purposedifferent	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.	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.	ATAM helps teams weigh architecture decisions when quality goals compete. The team considers business goals, stakeholder expectations, and technical decisions together. The evaluation shows which risks need further investigation.
