| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Single location)
Customer (Not Relevant: Customers are from the Indian Government. They release tenders / requirements specifications against which the software has to be developed. Customers do not have any specific requirements for the process / lifecycle to be followed. The projects are essentially in the same domain – telecommunications / e-payments and as such there is no impact on the process that is followed. Thus, all projects follow the same process irrespective of customer.)
Size (Not Relevant: The projects are fairly small – none of the projects in the unit had an estimated effort beyond 250 person days. Thus, there is no differentiation by size in terms of the process to be followed.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: This is one group where all follow the same process)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: All projects follow the same lifecycle)
Projects: In the absence of other sampling factors for differentiation between projects, Projects [‘Development’ and ‘Other’] has been taken. Other is a ‘NULL’ set. |
