| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: No. Most projects and activities are occurring either at a centralized location, or are managed by Microsoft SharePoint collaboration technologies thereby ensuring that location has little or no significant impact on process implementation and performance.)
Customer (Not Relevant: No. Although each customer tends to have its own preferences relating to details such as progress report formats, information, and frequency, the customer does not have a significant influence on how processes are implemented or performed within the organizational unit.)
Size: YES. Generally, process performance can vary significantly—and in accordance with tailoring criteria—as a function of project size.
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: No. The organizational unit has a relatively flat management structure. Therefore organizational structure does not cause significant variations in the performance of processes.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: No. The organizational unit performs one type of work: product development and maintenance.) |
