| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: all application development and service delivery work within the organizational unit is performed within the same geographical location, the Washington DC area (including Rockville and Bethesda, MD and McLean, VA) and is performed using the standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a program’s defined process is tailored. Therefore, location does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
Customer (Not Relevant: all application development and service delivery work within the organizational unit is provided to various U.S. Federal Government civilian agencies including the National Institutes of Health and is performed using the standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a program’s defined process is tailored.

Size (Not Relevant: application development and service delivery work performed across the organizational unit consists of programs with team sizes of 6 to 23 team members. The standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures are scalable to this range of program team sizes within the organizational unit. Therefore, size does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: within the organizational unit there is only one organizational structure in which all application development and service delivery work use the standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a program’s defined process is tailored. Therefore, organizational structure does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
