| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All projects are operating from the same R&D Center. Not Relevant The OU is in the same geographical location as that of the appraised organization. All the software development activities are carried out from this single location, without any influence of the same on internal processes. Thus, location is not a potential differentiator))
Customer (Not Relevant: The customer is not a differentiating parameter)
Size (Not Relevant: All development projects are of similar team size (5 to 6 members)). Not Relevant Most of the projects are of similar sized team members. There is some difference in the effort values across projects, but this in itself does not cause any significant changes to the basic internal processes of the OU. Thus, project size is not a potential differentiator)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: There is a singular management structure in the OU covering software development activities. Moreover, the appropriate internal processes apply at each level of the organizational hierarchy without any deviation from the standard processes. Thus, the classified structure is not a potential differentiator)
Type of Work: All the projects are classified into ERP and Application Development |
