| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: The same location, thus it”s not a differentiation factor)
Customer (Not Relevant: The same type of customers, thus it”s not a differentiation factor)
Size (Not Relevant: Most of the projects are of similar sized team members. There is some difference in the effort values across projects, but this in itself does not cause any significant changes to the basic internal processes of the OU. Thus, project size is not a potential differentiator)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Few layers in the organization, not impacting the way software is developed. Thus it”s not a differentiation factor)
Type of Work: Upgrade ( small projects 2-15 man-months, adding new modules and requirements) projects and Development (medium size new “15-50” man-months- complete waterfall life cycle) projects. |
