| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Basic unit location has no effect in the way the activities are performed as they are performed in one single location)
Customer (Not Relevant: Although there are different needs according to the customers, he customer requests are internally managed in the same way, so we can consider this factor has no influence in the way the activities are performed.)
Size (Not Relevant: The size (measured as development effort) is not affecting the way the processes are applied. All projects within the scope present similar size and their differences do not imply changes in the way the process are used)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: There is no effect on the behavior or practices used by the company. Projects are managed by following the same organizational structure.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: No affect because only projects are part of the scope of the appraisal)
