| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All BUs/SUs performed within Tinker AFB. No process distinctions are made based upon location within the Base.)
Customer (Not Relevant: All customers are organizational elements of the US Air Force. No Standard process distinctions are made based upon customer attributes.)
Size (Not Relevant: The differences in project size is redundant with the differences in type of work and engineering discipline and are therefore subsumed by that factor)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All organizational elements are located at Tinker AFB. No Standard process distinctions are made based upon organization. Everyone follows the same standard processes.)
Type of Work: Work is largely based upon the life cycle selected, which is either Development (D), Maintenance (M) or Agile (A).
Engineering Discipline: Some projects deal with hardware products as well as software products. Options here would be software only (S), or software and hardware (SH). Hardware might be contracted out for implementation or built in house. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Development (D) (Type of Work): Development work using the Waterfall lifecycle.
Maintenance (M) (Type of Work): Maintenance Work using the Waterfall lifecycle.
Agile (A) (Type of Work): Work using the Agile lifecycle.
Software Only (S) (Engineering Discipline): Projects dealing with software products only.
Software and Hardware (SH) (Engineering Discipline): Projects dealing with software products as well as hardware products. |
