| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Only one location considered as part of the OU. Hence this is not considered as sampling factor.)
Customer (Not Relevant: The nature of business is to provide software services to various clients. The QMS is generic enough to accommodate the life cycles required for different customer deliveries. Hence this is not considered as sampling factor.)
Size (Not Relevant: There are different sizes of teams. However, the underlying deliveries are in small pockets as far as OU is concerned and the same process is followed for these deliveries. Hence Size is not considered as sampling factor.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All projects are under one delivery unit. Hence this is not considered as sampling factor.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: The OU consists of software development activities. Hence type of work is not considered as sampling factor.)
Lifecycle: Projects follow Agile and Traditional lifecycle modes for delivery. This has impact on how development process is implemented. Hence this is considered as sampling factor. |
