- Sampling Summary:
(抽样汇总) -
Sampling Factors: Location (Not Relevant: All projects are operating from the same Technology Department. The OU is in the same geographical location as that of the appraised organization. All the software development activities are carried out from this single location, without any influence of the same on internal processes. Thus, location is not a potential differentiator) Customer (Not Relevant: This OU caters to various customers, however the internal processes used by the OU for software application development for any of them do not undergo any change due to this customer variation. Thus, the customer type is not a potential differentiator)
Size (Not Relevant: All development projects are of similar team size (5 ¬ 7 members)). Not Relevant ¬ Most of the projects are of similar sized team members. There is some difference in the effort values across projects, but this in itself does not cause any significant changes to the basic internal processes of the OU. Thus, project size is not a potential differentiator)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: There is a singular management structure in the OU covering software development activities. Moreover, the appropriate internal processes apply at each level of the organizational hierarchy without any deviation from the standard processes. Thus, the organizational structure is not a potential differentiator)
Type of Work: The projects were classified as Platform Development (PD) and Platform Maintenance (PM)
Sampling Factor Values: PD (Type of Work): Platform development follows an Iterative development approach PM (Type of Work): Platform Maintenance follows an Iterative approach of short release cycle spanning a month.
Subgroups: Platform Development: The projects are of size 6 to 10 resources and followed an Iterative development approach
18 People, 2 Basic Units
– PDPlatform Maintenance: The projects are of size 6 to 8 resources and followed an Iterative development approach with short cycles for release.
16 People, 2 Basic Units
