| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All projects in OU use the same QMS irrespective of the locations. Single headquarter. Thus,location is not a potential differentiator.)
Customer (Not Relevant: All projects in OU are for government customers (state and federal) and these projects use the same QMS (irrespective of the customers). Thus,customer type is not a potential differentiator.)
Size (Not Relevant: Size by contracted efforts- man months. Thus,size is not a potential differentiator.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: CNSI have single management structure irrespective of locations. Thus, structure is not a potential differentiator.)
Type of Work: Software development activity has 2 categories: Software Development (complete application development) and Evolutive Software Development (new features and enhancements covering life engineering life cycle) projects only using the same QMS. Process areas like REQM,PP, PMC, RSKM, MA, IPM, CM get enacted in a different way. |
