| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Basic unit location has no effect in the way the activities are performed as they are performed in one single location.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Although there are different needs according to the customers, internally the customer requests are managed in the same way, so we can consider this factor has no influence in the way the activities are performed.)
Size (Not Relevant: Basic unit size has no effect in the way the activities are performed for development projects, scope of this appraisal.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: The work is performed equal in all the organizational structure.)
Type of Work: Under this factor we can distinguish two possible values: Complete Life Cycle (cascade life cycle), Adapted Life Cycle (when the customer has demanded to adapt some of the phases/activities of the complete life cycle to be aligned with their own methodology and deliverables) |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Complete (Type of Work): Projects developed following cascade life cycle
Adapted (Type of Work): Projects developed following an adapted life cycle demanded by the customer |
| Subgroups: |
Subgroup1: Web Portal Development projects following the complete life cycle
120 People, 4 Basic Units
– Complete
Subgroup2: Web Portal Development projects following the adapted life cycle
25 People, 3 Basic Units
– Adapted |
