| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: =1: Location is not an important determining factor affecting process implementation. Primary work is done in both NY and PA, however the “type of work” is already making this distinction.)
Customer (Not Relevant: =1: Customer type is not an important determining factor affecting process implementation. Customer type is almost exclusively defense organizations, or defense related organizations.)
Size: =2: Size is an important determining factor affecting process implementation. Projects of less than $750K annual revenue are subject to different process criteria than larger projects.
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: =1: Organizational structure is quite flat and is not an important determining factor affecting process implementation.)
Type of Work: =2: Type of work is an important determining factor affecting process implementation. Projects that are primarily hardware production are subject to different process implementation and performance criteria than ones that involve a mix of software and hardware development |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Large (Size): Projects are categorized, implemented, and managed as “Large” projects if annual revenues equal or exceed $750K.
Small (Size): Projects are categorized, implemented, and managed as “Small” projects if annual revenues are less than $750K.
HW (Type of Work): Projects developing primarily hardware products.
Mixed (Type of Work): Projects developing a mix of hardware and software products. |
| Subgroups: |
Large/HW: Projects equal or greater than $750K annual revenues and primarily developing hardware products.
