| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Only one location in scope, Dalian, China)
Customer (Not Relevant: Only one customer in scope, Alpine Electronics.)
Size (Not Relevant: Size does not have any significant impact on how work gets done, large team will be divided in small teams with similar granularity)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: No changes in project execution based on organization structure. It is flat organization and uses one OSSP.)
Type of Work: There are 2 types of work, Function Enhancement or New Development. Different types of work engineering process is different, especially the requirements development, system design, preliminary design process of engineering. So it is a critical sampling factor.
Type of Development Platform: Software development activities are based on the following 2 types of development platforms, RTOS Platform or Linux Platform. There are big differences between the two different platforms, such as coding language, development environment, system architecture and implementation way etc. So it is a critical sampling factor. |
