| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Location is not relevant as all team members are located in Shenzhen.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Given the nature of the products, customers have no impact on processes used by project teams.)
Size (Not Relevant: Size factor is part of type of work consideration. Typically, size of customized development projects is relatively small. Thus, size is not relevant.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Software groups are mostly located in software application development center and test center.)
Type of Work: There are two types of work: Customized Software Developments and New Product Development. In recent years, there are almost no new product development. Thus, only Customized Software Development projects are included in the appraisal. |
