| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Product based development, projects are developed in Xuchang, China and standard processes area applied. Location has no impact on process implementation.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Product based development. Customers are in power grid domain, which has similiar business pattern and no impact on process implementation.)
Size (Not Relevant: Product based development. New features are added to previous version product and project size is NOT the factor impacting on process implementation.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All under the same organizational structure, XJ Electric technology center and XJ software Technology. Project organization follow IPD organizational structure.)
Type of Work: Product development and technology research projects follow the IPD process but with different tailoring, for example, there may be no Pilotscale Test, Type Test, National Grid In-network Testing for technology research projects, etc. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Product Development (Type of Work): The product and platform development following the standard IPD process.
Technology Research (Type of Work): The technology research following IPD which may tailor out Pilotscale Experiment, Pype Test and National Grid In-network Test, etc. |
