| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: The projects are executed in the same city)
Customer (Not Relevant: The customer does not influence the processes used in the projects)
Size (Not Relevant: The projects are of similar size, duration and man hours)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: There at two units (Electric Business and Technology) and within this two are three departments according to the following list: Electric Business – Firmware development – Software development Technology – Smart Metering Each department works aligned to the organizational policies an process but with an specific process and software life cycle, due that each department works with only one specific software life cycle.)
Type of Work: According to the responsibilities of each department within the scope, the work is performed using three software development lifecycles aligned to the project types and technologies. Firmware development -> Microprograming Lifecycle Software Development -> Product Based Lifecycle Smart Metering -> Product development Lifecycle |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Product Based (Type of Work): Specific custom software developments for requirements functionality required by the customer that is not already included in the product within the Electrical Business
Microprograming (Type of Work): Projects developed through custom software development
Product (Type of Work): Software development for new products and technologies (Mainly Research & Development) |
| Subgroups: |
Product Based: Projects for specific custom software developments for requirements functionality required by the customer that is not already included in the product within the Electrical Business (Mainly for SCADA Systems).
