| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Chengdu location is only considered for appraisal. Thus, location is not a differentiator and does not make any material difference to the way processes are applied.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Design and R&D Center develop products in Radio and television, communications industry. OSSP is defined at organization level and projects follow the same with minor tailoring irrespective of clients. Therefore ‘CUSTOMER’ factor is not considered for project selection.)
Size (Not Relevant: Project staff size varies based on scope and complexities of each Project. However, it has no impact of processes followed in projects. As per Management policy, each project has follow standard processes and hence “Size” factor is not considered for project selection.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Design and R&D Center is considered as OU. There is no other dept. engaged in software development. There is no impact from organizational structure on project process differentiation)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: At present all development are going on. So “Type of work” factor is not considered for project selection.)
Life-Cycle: Project follows different lifecycle methodologies like waterfall model, Hardware Product model, and Iterative & incremental model. OSSP has some differentiation due to lifecycle and hence “Lifecycle” factor is considered for project selection. At present, none of the project is using Hardware Product model life cycle. |
