Location (Not Relevant: Even though projects are located different locations but since they are using same standard processes, location is not a relevant factor)
Customer (Not Relevant: All projects follow the same processes with approved tailoring)
Size (Not Relevant: Size factor is irrelevant because all projects follow the same processes with approved tailoring and most of developments are similar size)
