| Sampling Factors: |
Location: Some projects are developed from the Deqing Location while others (North China) are developed at customer location. Process implementation may differ based on the location – hence this has been taken as a relevant factor
Customer (Not Relevant: All customers are Government customers. So, firstly there is no difference in the customer profiles and secondly, the processes used are independent of the type of customer)
Size (Not Relevant: All projects are similar size and processes are independent of size anyways)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: The OU consists of only one department – the R&D Centre. The processes followed are independent of the org structure)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: Only waterfall lifecycle is being followed in the OU – hence it is not a sampling factor) |
