| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Organization unit is operational from one location at Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China PRC only and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Organization unit serves hospital customers in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China PRC and hence considered to be not relevant for sampling.)
Size: Size all the basic units are small (<3 months),=”” medium=”” (=””> 3 to < 6=”” months)=”” and=”” large=”” (=””> 6 months) sized in the organizational unit remains the same and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Organizational structure across all the basic units in the organizational unit remains the same and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.)
Type of Work: Software development lifecycle (Waterfall, Waterfall + Prototype) basic units are different across basic units, but developed in the same technology (MS and Java) and same domain (Healthcare) and hence considered relevant for sampling.
