Is it a priority?: Most organizations are under high pressure to stay competitive. Many projects and other types of changes are taking place at the same time and there is a battle for the same scarce key resources. A high risk must be added if the project is not the high priority list and if it does not provide significant contribution to corporate objectives

Culture usually wins: Projects are often used as a lever to change culture. If the project shall be used to make major changes to culture this must be taken seriously since culture usually wins

Financial situation: Especially if the project is long and big it may be worth looking at the financial situation of the company. If the financial situation is not stable the project will be likely to be impacted.

Project maturity: Running a project in a company with project processes in place that people know may speed things up; PPM methods, documentation tools, project rooms, steering group setup, build, deploy and release processes etc. If these processes are not in place there is an extra task

Corporate bureaucracy: Big companies tend to build complex processes for project approvals, gate reviews, release processes, regular reporting, budget and resource management etc. In order to manage the project and allocate sufficient time for such processes time may be well invested in getting on top of the bureaucracy.

Industry specifics: The industry may in itself have big impact on the project. Some industries have specific infrastructure and integrations that must be built (e.g. in public sector) while other industries have strict processes and documentation that must be followed (e.g. pharma).
