| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Organization unit is operational from one location at Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China PRC only and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Organization unit serves Non-Government customers in Guangdong Province, China PRC. Customers do not have influence on the OU processes and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.)
Size: Size the basic units are classified as Small sized (Effort: 6 months duration), and Medium sized (Effort: > 6 and < 12=”” months=”” duration)=”” in=”” the=”” organizational=”” unit=”” and=”” hence=”” considered=”” to=”” be=”” relevant=”” for=””>
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Organizational structure across all the basic units in the organizational unit remains the same and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.)
Type of Work: Software new development life cycle (Waterfall) is either System (Platform) or Application Development and different for all basic units, but developed in the similar technology (Java), management system domain and hence considered relevant for sampling. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
