Life Cycle: Different Development Life Cycle, Waterfall and Iterative |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Waterfall (Life Cycle): This is a life cycle used by the projects using Waterfall
Incremental (Life Cycle): This is a life cycle used by the projects using Incremental |
| Subgroups: |
Waterfall * Subgroup 1: This is a life cycle used by the projects using I Waterfall
35 People, 4 Basic Units
– Waterfall
Incremental Life Cycle Subgroup 2: This is a life cycle used by the projects using Incremental
6 People, 1 Basic Units
– Incremental |
