| Criterion |  Facilitation Timeline |  Architecture LASR (Lightweight Approach for Software Reviews) |  Facilitation Dot Voting |  Agile WSJF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
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 a workshop has produced too many options and the group needs to condense quickly, dot voting makes preferences visible in a short time. It bundles individual votes into a solid signal for the next selection. | When many tasks compete for the same capacity, it orders work by economic impact. It makes time lost, benefit, and effort comparable together. |
Complexitydifferent | Low | Medium | Low | High |
Timedifferent | 30-90 min | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 5-15 min | 45-90 min |
Participantsdifferent | 2-12 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 3-20 | 3-10 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop + async | Workshop + async | Workshop | Workshop |
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 | Ranked list, Consensus signal, Shortlist | Ranked Backlog, Cost-of-Delay Assumptions |
