This notion shows that governance is not considered a requirement for the business. Unfortunately, due to a variety of reasons, the feature was released with a huge delay.

Cost is measured in dollars and schedule is measured in time. Technical performance is likewise difficult to integrate with either cost or schedule because its units of measure vary with the subject matter.
