| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: The factor is determined as not affected, because all active products are located in Beijing.)
Customer (Not Relevant: The products are developed for government customers.)
Size (Not Relevant: The factor is determined as not affected, because all active projects have similar sizes between 6-12 people.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: The products are all developed by R&D Department.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: The factor is determined as not affected, because all projects were similar software products.)
Project Types: The projects are divided into developing new software system and upgrading software system.
Application domains: Products are divided into remote sensing category and safe-protection category. Projects in different domains may behave differently. |
