| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: The scope of appraisal is Technology Development Department of Shandong Changxiang located at Jinan. No other location is considered. Shandong Changxiang QMS processes are established at organizational level for Jinan Location. So “LOCATION” factor is not considered for project selection.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Technology Development Department executes software development projects for their client and users in the field of university teaching materials business and data processing. In all the basic units, standard process defined at organization level with minor tailoring is followed. No significant changes observed in the processes followed by these projects for different customers. So ‘CUSTOMER’ factor is not considered for project selection.)
Size (Not Relevant: Technology Development Department QMS processes does not vary and differentiating for different size of the projects. All projects are of typically similar staff size (05-06 staff) with similar duration. There is no variation in the work performed in these projects due to project team size and hence all projects are required to follow same processes irrespective of project team size. So “SIZE” factor is not considered for project selection.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Organizational Structure is same for all the software development projects executed in Technology Development Department hence no significant process variation based on organizational structure. So ‘ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE’ factor is not considered for the project selection. Following functions / activities are carried out at organizational Level. 1. EPG 2. PPQA 3. Training)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: Technology Development Department executes software development projects using the Waterfall Life Cycle. Same sets of processes are followed for execution of these projects. So ‘TYPE OF WORK’ factor is not considered for project selection.)
Life Cycle: All Projects follow Waterfall Life Cycle. Though Life Cycle factor does not have any impact, ‘LIFE CYCLE’ factor is considered for project selection. |
