| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Single location. It does not impact the way business is done or any process area is enacted. Thus, location is not a potential differentiator.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Similar type of customers (though domains are different) who want their applications to get developed. Thus, customer type is not a potential differentiator.)
Size (Not Relevant: Insignificant variation in size only has impact on estimates of effort and costs, rather than have a potential impact on any other process areas which would differentiate size as potential sampling factor.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All projects fall under software development category. Projects follow a single integrated QMS. Thus, it’s not a potential differentiator.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: Overall methodology defined in the QMS does not change for projects.)
Lifecycle: There are two lifecycles followed by the projects: SCRUM and Waterfall |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
SCRUM (Lifecycle): Agile way of managing a software development project.
WATERFALL (Lifecycle): Sequential method of implementing the SDLC phases of phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, production/implementation and maintenance. |
| Subgroups: |
SCRUM: Projects use SCRUM methodology for overall project management
17 People, 3 Basic Units
– SCRUM
WATERFALL: Projects use Waterfall lifecycle for overall project management
6 People, 1 Basic Units
– WATERFALL |
