| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Goleta CA (Systems Engineering), Troy MI (Software Development). Employees from all RDI sites use the same processes that are audited for adherence by the same Mission Assurance Group. No influence on implementation.)
Customer (Not Relevant: There is one customer base and the processes are not performed differently. No influence on implementation.)
Size (Not Relevant: The projects are all approximately the same size, and the processes are not performed differently. No influence on implementation.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: There is only one organizational structure across all sites. No influence on implementation.)
Type of Work: Systems engineering work (tasks order of steps, etc.) is done differently than software development. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Software Development (Type of Work): The primary output of this work is software and software-related artifacts/documentation for both enterprise and embedded applications.
Systems Engineering (Type of Work): The primary output of this work is the development of systems engineering, architecture, and design documents (e.g., SSS/SSDD/System Engineering Plans, etc.) |
