| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Locations of the organizational unit sites have no impact on the way work is performed, both with respect to the CMMI-DEV and the CMMI-SVC. Development is distributed over up to 4 sites, but they all follow the same process defined in Bogotá. There is currently only one service dealing with the operation of a deployed system.)
Customer (Not Relevant: The customers served by the organizational unit have no impact on the way work is performed, both with respect to the CMMI-DEV and the CMMI-SVC. The same process defined in Bogotá and based on the software factories model is used for basic units in the organizational scope. For services, there is currently one customer for whom a deployed system is operated by the OU.)
Size (Not Relevant: The size of basic units in the organizational unit scope has no impact on the way work is performed, both with respect to the CMMI-DEV and the CMMI-SVC. Some process components are optional for smaller projects, but all projects essentially follow the same process. There is currently only one service dealing with the operation of a deployed system.)
Organizational Structure: The structure of the organizational unit has an impact on the way work is performed with respect to development and enhancements (CMMI-DEV).
Type of Work: The type of work (development and enhancements vs. services) performed by the organizational unit has an impact on the way work is performed within the CMMI-DEV and CMMI-SVC. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
RUP (Organizational Structure): Iterative and incremental life cycle for developments and enhancements.
SCRUM (Organizational Structure): Agile life cycle for developments and enhancements.
Operation (Organizational Structure): Remote operation of deployed systems.
Projects (Type of Work): New developments and enhancements.
Services (Type of Work): Operation of a deployed system that was developed by the OU that developed that system. |
