|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When many tasks compete for the same capacity, it orders work by economic impact. It makes time lost, benefit, and effort comparable together. | 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. | For an acute quality or delivery problem, the method structures immediate protection and root cause work together. It keeps the situation stable while the actual cause is investigated cleanly. |
Complexitydifferent | High | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 45-90 min | 3–4 h for initial assessment; preparation and deeper analysis additional | 1-6 Wochen |
Participantsdifferent | 3-10 | 1 or a small team; particularly suitable for 3–4 people | 4-10 |
Formatdifferent | Workshop | Workshop + async | Workshop + async |
Outputdifferent | Ranked Backlog, Cost-of-Delay Assumptions | 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 | 8D Report, Containment Plan, Root Cause Evidence, Corrective Action Plan |
