| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: The O&LS work is performed in many locations. There is no effect of location on process implementation.)
Customer (Not Relevant: O&LS work is performed for many different customers. There is no effect of customer on process implementation.)
Size (Not Relevant: The sizes of the projects vary. There is no effect on the process implementation.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: There is one organizational structure that applies to all projects. There is no effect on process implementation.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: The work is similar on all projects. There is no effect on process implantation.)
Life Cycle: The documentation supporting and resulting from Agile projects differs from that for standard Waterfall and evolutionary development. Both make use of a standard O&LS process asset set. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Agile (Life Cycle): Many of the documents are transitory and are baselined for the short term. Project measurements indicating productivity, quality, and schedule are correspondingly collected more frequently and analyzed rapidly to affect the project’s immediate future.
Waterfall (Life Cycle): The development process involves the full process asset use and terminology. |
| Subgroups: |
Agile projects: Projects in this subgroup use the Agile development approach and an appropriately tailored defined process.
118 People, 3 Basic Units
– Agile
Waterfall: Projects in this subgroup have a standard approach to their software development using the asset set to support the waterfall life cycle.
