| Sampling Factors: |
Location (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: This OU caters to various customers, however the variation from these different customers is only restricted to the difference in requirements content and there is no trigger or rationale for any process change. The organization”s set of standard processes and all associated templates are used for each customer in a similar manner. Thus, customer type is not a potential differentiator)
Size: Most of the projects are of similar sized team members. However some projects belong to Short duration (2-4 months) while some are Long duration (5-6 months). This impacts PP, PMC, MA, IPM and RSKM.
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, organizational structure is not a potential differentiator.))
Type of Work (Not Relevant: Type of work across the OU is software application development and in itself does not impact any process or cause any process change) |
