| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All of the project teams are located in Hangzhou, and the location has no impact on the process implementation.)
Customer (Not Relevant: They follow the similar processes to develop the products for their internal customer. So the customer has no impact on the processes.)
Size (Not Relevant: All of the projects have the similar size, they follow the similar processes. So, the project size has no impact on processes implementation.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All of the projects are from the Information Management Department. They follow the similar processes to deliver product. The org structure has no impact on the process implementation.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: All of the projects follow the similar processes. So the type of work has no impact on processes implementation.)
Life Cycle Models: Some of the projects choose the traditional LCM, and some of the projects choose the iteration. The planning, requirement development, designing, testing processes are different based on the LCM selection. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Traditional (Life Cycle Models): For this subgroup, the projects choose the traditional LCM.
Iteration (Life Cycle Models): The subgroup was defined for the projects which choose the iteration LCM. |
| Subgroups: |
Traditional: For this subgroup, the projects choose the traditional LCM.
