|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | With a calendar that grows on request, the method makes available time explicit again. It combines appointments, focus work, and buffer into a more realistic day structure. | ARID examines how well developers can work with a technical design. It focuses on a part of the system that can still be revised, between the architecture overview and the detailed specification. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium | Low | Low |
Timedifferent | 15-30 min Planung, laufend | 2–4 h review as a planning range; preparation and evaluation additional | 15-30 min | 15-90 min daily |
