Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All delivery responsibility is under one delivery head. Hence this is not considered as relevant sampling factor.)
Type of Work: Type of work is represented by type of lifecycle activities. There are processes defined for these different types of projects. Hence this is considered as sampling factor. |
