Lightweight Architecture Evaluations refer to a streamlined approach to assessing and reviewing software architecture. Unlike traditional, exhaustive architectural reviews, this method focuses on agility, enabling teams to quickly evaluate architectural decisions without extensive documentation or formal processes. This approach is especially useful in agile and fast-paced development environments, where time and resources for detailed analysis may be limited. In the "methods-and-patterns" quadrant, Lightweight Architecture Evaluations help teams stay responsive to change and ensure that architectural decisions align with evolving project needs. The "adopt" ring suggests that this practice has proven benefits and should be considered a standard approach for teams seeking to maintain agility while ensuring sound architectural principles.
