| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: (Not Relevant: Software Engineers are located in multiple locations, but all are using the same central process definition and work is coordinated through a centralized location.))
Customer (Not Relevant: (Not Relevant: Organizational Unit is performing work for four different customers, but there is no variance in the way work is performed or the processes used. Defining subgroups using “customer” would be redundant.))
Size (Not Relevant: Not Relevant: Development process is the same regardless of size. Team management processes are scalable to fit different project team sizes.))
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: (Not Relevant: Reporting structure may be different within the Centers of Excellence (COEs) supporting ESEA Space Applications Software, but no difference in what is reported through ESEA Space Applications Software technical management.))
Type of Work: Projects within the organizational unit include development and maintenance projects. Maintenance type of work – have completed the major development and are in a maintenance cycle and are typically short cycle. Development type of work – involved in full scale development and are typically longer in lifecycle duration. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Maintenance (Type of Work): Description: Multiple short duration releases … 9 months to a year – high level Project Defined Process (PDP), abbreviated lifecycle, may have separate PDP per product line
Development (Type of Work): Description: Long duration projects (6 to 8 years), detailed Project Defined Process, and involve full lifecycle activities |
