|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a project, incident, or change process is only remembered in fragments, Timeline brings the sequence back into a readable form. It makes turning points, precursors, and after-effects recognizable over the course of time. | 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. | When two variants compete, discussions quickly decide by taste rather than effect. A/B Testing checks behavior under controlled conditions and separates real improvement from chance or expectation effects. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 30-90 min | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1-4 Wochen |
Participantsdifferent | 2-12 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 1-6 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Async |
Outputdifferent | Timeline, Milestones, Insight Notes | 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 | Experiment results, Decision log, Learning summary |
