AI infrastructure boom: The project management challenge behind the technology"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artificial intelligence might feel digital, but the infrastructure required to power it is very physical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind every AI model, cloud platform and increasingly intelligent digital service sits a network of data centres, energy infrastructure, telecommunications and highly skilled people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Australia wants to play a significant role in what comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As investment in artificial intelligence accelerates, Australia is positioning itself as a destination for the large-scale data centres and computing infrastructure required to support the next generation of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But building the infrastructure behind an AI-powered economy isn&#8217;t simply a technology challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a <strong>project management challenge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From energy and water requirements to planning, regulation, community engagement, workforce capability and rapidly evolving technology, Australia&#8217;s AI infrastructure boom provides a fascinating example of just how complex modern projects are becoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it demonstrates why skilled project professionals will be essential to turning technological ambition into successful delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australia is preparing for the next phase of AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September 2026, the Australian Government opened a consultation on the future of AI training and large data centres in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consultation is exploring proposed requirements covering areas including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Energy use and renewable energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sustainable water use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Community engagement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project locations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infrastructure and community impacts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Workforce skills and training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s an important conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data centres already support many of the services Australians use every day, from banking and business software to healthcare, communications and government services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As AI adoption grows, however, the infrastructure required to support it is expected to become considerably larger and more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means Australia faces an interesting balancing act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you encourage innovation and investment while managing resources responsibly, protecting communities and ensuring infrastructure can cope with additional demand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For project professionals, that question will sound familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because successful project management has always involved balancing time, cost, quality, risk, resources, stakeholders and intended benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference is that the scale and complexity of some of these projects are becoming extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An AI project is about much more than AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we talk about AI investment, attention naturally turns towards software, algorithms and emerging technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But delivering AI infrastructure can involve far more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A major data centre development may require input from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>construction and engineering teams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>energy providers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>telecommunications specialists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>technology organisations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>environmental specialists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>local and national government<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>regulators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>investors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>suppliers and contractors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>local communities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cybersecurity professionals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>operations teams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each group brings different requirements, priorities, expertise and concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone needs to bring all of that together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s where effective project and programme management becomes critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can Australia&#8217;s AI infrastructure boom teach us about project management?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need to be managing a billion-dollar technology development to learn from projects of this scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the challenges facing major Australian infrastructure projects are the same fundamental challenges project professionals encounter every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Stakeholder management can&#8217;t be an afterthought<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Major projects rarely exist in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia&#8217;s proposed approach to AI infrastructure specifically considers the impact data centres may have on the communities in which they are developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes stakeholder engagement an important part of project delivery rather than simply a communications exercise towards the end of a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project teams need to identify stakeholders early and understand their interests, influence, expectations and concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an infrastructure project, that could include regulators, investors, suppliers, local authorities and residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a smaller organisational project, it might include senior management, employees, customers and external partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scale changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The principle doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Successful projects need people to understand who will be affected and how they should be engaged throughout the project lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Risk management becomes even more important when technology moves quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI is developing incredibly quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A project planned today could operate in a very different technological environment by the time it is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That creates uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But uncertainty is nothing new to project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Effective risk management involves identifying possible events or circumstances that could affect objectives, understanding their potential impact and deciding how they should be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a major technology infrastructure project, risks might relate to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Technology becoming outdated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Construction delays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changing regulations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Energy availability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resource constraints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supply chains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cybersecurity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Budgets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Workforce shortages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Environmental impacts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of risk management isn&#8217;t to predict everything that could possibly happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s to make projects better prepared when uncertainty becomes reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Resources are about more than budgets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One particularly interesting challenge surrounding Australia&#8217;s data centre growth is resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And not simply financial resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large data centres require significant electricity, physical space, telecommunications infrastructure and, depending on their cooling systems, water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia&#8217;s proposed standards are therefore considering how projects should manage energy and water use while minimising negative impacts on communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s an excellent demonstration of why project resource management requires a broad view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project managers need to understand what resources a project requires, when they will be required, whether they are available and what dependencies could affect them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same principle applies whether you&#8217;re managing a major infrastructure programme or implementing new software within a small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A plan is only achievable if the resources required to deliver it are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Project success isn&#8217;t simply finishing on time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine a data centre is completed exactly when planned and within its approved construction budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does that automatically make the project successful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not necessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if it creates unsustainable pressure on local infrastructure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if stakeholders haven&#8217;t been properly engaged?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if the facility can&#8217;t access the resources required to operate effectively?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or what if changing technology means it doesn&#8217;t deliver the expected long-term benefits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern project management increasingly requires organisations to think beyond <strong>&#8220;Did we deliver it?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The better question is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Did we deliver the intended value and benefits?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s an important distinction for every project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Completing activities isn&#8217;t the same as achieving successful outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Change management matters alongside project management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Introducing new technology doesn&#8217;t just change systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It changes how people work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Australian organisations continue adopting artificial intelligence, many will need to change processes, responsibilities, skills and potentially entire operating models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why project management and change management often need to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project management helps organisations structure and deliver change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Change management focuses more closely on helping people understand, adopt and sustain that change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can successfully install a new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if nobody understands it, trusts it or uses it properly, has the project achieved its intended benefit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology transformation requires organisations to think about both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Governance provides control when projects become complex<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more complex a project becomes, the easier it is for responsibilities and decisions to become unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who has authority to make a decision?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who owns a particular risk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When does an issue need to be escalated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who approves a change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do we know whether the project is still aligned with the organisation&#8217;s objectives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Effective project governance establishes the structures, responsibilities and decision-making processes required to answer those questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For large AI infrastructure developments involving numerous organisations and regulatory requirements, governance is particularly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But strong governance is valuable at every scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear responsibilities and decision-making processes help projects maintain direction when circumstances change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The skills behind Australia&#8217;s technology ambitions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s tempting to assume that an AI-powered future will primarily require more AI specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It undoubtedly will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But major technological transformation also requires people who know how to deliver change successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means Australia will continue to need professionals capable of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Planning complex work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing risks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coordinating resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicating effectively<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engaging stakeholders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leading teams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing suppliers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responding to change<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintaining governance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping projects aligned with strategic objectives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, the Australian Government&#8217;s current consultation specifically includes workforce skills and training among the areas being considered for future AI infrastructure development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology may change rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ability to manage projects effectively remains fundamental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which project management approaches can support complex projects?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single project management method that&#8217;s appropriate for every organisation or every project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different environments require different approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/au\/prince2-courses\/\">PRINCE2<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PRINCE2 provides a structured approach to project management built around clear principles, practices and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its emphasis on areas such as roles and responsibilities, continued business justification, risk, quality and managing by stages can be particularly useful in environments requiring strong governance and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/au\/agilepm-courses\/\">AgilePM<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When requirements are likely to evolve, an agile approach can provide greater flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AgilePM combines project management with agile ways of working, helping organisations maintain governance while responding to changing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be particularly relevant within digital and technology environments where learning and adaptation happen throughout delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/au\/change-management-accredited-training-courses\/\">Change Management<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Successful transformation isn&#8217;t achieved through technical delivery alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Change Management training helps professionals understand how individuals and organisations respond to change and how effective engagement, communication and support can improve adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For organisations introducing AI and other emerging technologies, these capabilities are becoming increasingly relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does this mean for Australian project professionals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need to work inside a data centre to be affected by the changes AI will bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australian organisations across almost every industry are considering how AI could improve productivity, automate processes, support decision-making and change the way services are delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of those changes can create projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And those projects will require people capable of asking the right questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are we trying to achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who will be affected?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What could go wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What resources do we need?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How will we manage change?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How will we measure success?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those questions aren&#8217;t unique to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re at the heart of good project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technology changes. Good project management remains essential.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia&#8217;s growing AI ambitions provide an exciting glimpse into the scale of transformation ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the technology itself is only one part of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the servers, software and investment are complex projects involving people, resources, communities, regulations, risks and competing priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology may provide the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Effective project management is what helps turn that opportunity into an achievable outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Australian professionals and organisations preparing for increasingly complex projects, developing strong project management and change capabilities could therefore prove just as important as understanding the technology itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Develop your project management skills with Training ByteSize Australia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re managing digital transformation, organisational change or more traditional projects, recognised project management training can give you the frameworks, tools and confidence to approach delivery more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Training ByteSize Australia offers accredited training across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/au\/prince2-courses\/\">PRINCE2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/au\/agilepm-courses\/\">AgilePM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/au\/change-management-accredited-training-courses\/\">Change Management<\/a> and a range of project and programme management qualifications, with flexible study options for both individuals and organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainingbytesize.com\/au\/training-courses\/project-management\/\">project management training courses<\/a> and build the skills to help deliver Australia&#8217;s next generation of projects.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790681010161\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why does Australia&#8217;s AI growth need project managers?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>AI growth requires more than software development. Supporting infrastructure can involve data centres, energy, telecommunications, construction, regulation, suppliers and local communities. Project professionals help coordinate these different elements while managing objectives, resources, risks, stakeholders and delivery.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790681012211\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What project management skills are important for technology projects?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Important skills include stakeholder management, risk management, communication, planning, resource management, leadership, governance and adaptability. Technology projects can also benefit from agile ways of working because requirements and technology may evolve during delivery.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790681012945\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why is stakeholder management important in infrastructure projects?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Infrastructure projects can affect many different groups, including governments, regulators, suppliers, investors, customers and local communities. Effective stakeholder management helps project teams understand different expectations and concerns, communicate appropriately and make more informed decisions throughout delivery.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790681014211\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is PRINCE2 suitable for technology projects?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>PRINCE2 can be applied across different sectors and project types, including technology projects. It provides a structured approach to areas including governance, responsibilities, business justification, risk and project control. Organisations can tailor the method to suit the scale and context of their project.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790681014850\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is AgilePM and when can it be useful?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>AgilePM combines project management disciplines with agile principles. It can be useful where requirements may evolve and teams need flexibility while retaining appropriate project governance and control.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790681015479\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why is change management important when implementing AI?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Implementing AI can change processes, responsibilities, skills and ways of working. Change management focuses on the people affected by transformation and can help organisations communicate change, address concerns, build understanding and encourage adoption.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790681043020\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Will AI replace project managers?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>AI can support project professionals with activities such as analysis, reporting, forecasting and administration, but projects also require judgement, communication, leadership, stakeholder engagement and decision-making.
