| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: all service delivery and application development work within the organizational unit is performed within the same geographical location, the Washington DC area (including Silver Spring, MD) and is performed using the standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a program’s defined process is established. Therefore, location does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
Customer (Not Relevant: all service delivery and application development work within the organizational unit is provided to U.S. Federal Government agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and is performed using the standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a program’s defined process is established. Therefore, customer does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
Size (Not Relevant: all service delivery and application development work performed across the organizational unit consists of programs with small team sizes of up to 23 team members. The standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures utilizing the same set of roles, responsibilities, deliverables, and work products and are scalable to this range of a small team size. Therefore, size does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: within the organizational unit there is only one organizational structure in which all service delivery and application development work use the standard defined set of organizational processes and procedures from which a program’s defined process is established. Therefore, organizational structure does not drive differences in conditions under which work is performed by a basic unit or support function.)
