| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All development work are performed at the central Changsha R&D centre.)
Customer (Not Relevant: The customer is typically a large corporation and the process for developing the solution is independent from the customer.)
Size (Not Relevant: The size of the projects are all similar (5 to 6 persons) and therefore size does not impact process selection.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All engineering for all products is done in the same department with the same team and project organization.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: All projects are enhancements of existing solutions.)
Requirements Stability: In some projects requirements are stable, in some they are frequently changed. Therefore the organization uses two life cycle models: Waterfall and Iterative |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
s1Waterfall (Requirements Stability): Requirements are mainly stable
s2Iterative (Requirements Stability): It is expected that requirements significantly change during the course of the project |
| Subgroups: |
s1Waterfall: Project that don”t expect that their requirements change significantly
11 People, 2 Basic Units
– s1Waterfall
s2Iterative: Projects that expect that their requirements change significantly
6 People, 1 Basic Units
– s2Iterative |
