| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All projects and work activities are based out of a single location at NOAA”s Office for Coastal Management (OCM) in Charleston, SC. There are multiple activity locations, but the software development work is performed in the same way using identical processes.)
Customer (Not Relevant: There is one customer base and the processes are performed the same for all of the customers involved.)
Size (Not Relevant: The processes are performed the same independent of the size of the projects and work activities.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: There is only one part of the TBG company that performs software development; the same processes are used by all employees.)
Type of Work: Relevant. Software Development. All DEV-type work performed by TBG involves software development. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Therefore, the single Sampling Factor Value for the single DEV subgroup is Software Development. (Type of Work): Software Development performed by the TBG Software Development Team involves the classical phases of requirements gathering, preliminary and detailed design, programming implementation, testing, and release to the customer. Great emphasis is placed on database activities due to the immense amount of data gathered worldwide from NOAA activities.
Null (Type of Work): This second Sampling Factor Value is inserted for purposes of creating the SAS Record. |
| Subgroups: |
1: There is one basic subgroup that performs the DEV work for TBG at OCM.
19 People, 9 Basic Units
– Therefore, the single Sampling Factor Value for the single DEV subgroup is Software Development. |
