| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: all application development work within the organizational unit is performed in only one geographical location, Herndon, VA and is performed using the Acuity standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a project’s defined process is established. 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 work within the organizational unit is performed for U.S. Federal Government agencies and is performed using the Acuity standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a project’s defined process is established. Therefore, customer does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
Size (Not Relevant: all application development work within the organizational unit is not performed differently based on the size of the basic units or support functions and is performed using the Acuity standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a project’s defined process is established. 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 work use the Acuity standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a project’s defined process is established. Therefore, organizational structure does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
Type of Work: all application development work across Acuity is performed using an Agile Scrum method “type of work” to develop applications. Project tasks are performed in a sprint release cycle of two weeks which typically include planning, requirements analysis, design, development, testing, acceptance evaluation, deployment of components to production environments, and maintenance tasks. A required second sampling factor value for “Type of Work” is identified as “No Project” within SAS. |
