| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All BUs operate from one location hence location may not influence the process implementation)
Customer (Not Relevant: All Three BUs develop software product for one domain hence this factor may not influence the process implementation)
Size (Not Relevant: The size of the BUs may influence the process implementation. However, this factor is redundant to the “Type of work” factor)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Two BUs report to VP of Product Development, Third BU reports to Product Manager. This may influence the process implementation. However, this is redundant to the “Type of Work” factor)
Type of Work: The BUs are using different Life Cycle models and this could influence the process implementation. |
