| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Location is not relevant because for all Basic Units Rockville, Maryland is the only location for all Basic Units.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Customer is not relevant because for all Basic Units the customer is the same Federal Student Aid (FSA) government organization.)
Size (Not Relevant: Size is not relevant because no matter what size the project is, work is performed the same using the standard process only modified by allowed and approved tailoring. Based on how the tailoring is described in the standard process, the tailoring allowed does not affect the standard process. The work performed uses the same standard process because the standard process is written such that the work is performed the same irrespective of what size the Basic Unit is.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Organizational structure is not relevant because there is only the Federal Sector organizational unit structure relevant to this appraisal.)
Type of Work: Type of work is relevant because there are Services Basic Units identified and Development Basic Units identified. The PPS InfoTech Federal Sector has a standard process that covers both Development Basic Units and Services Basic Units. Because of the difference on how these areas are executed it is appropriate that Type of Work is relevant. |
