- Ability to collaborate with folks outside of your discipline, such as researchers, designers, engineers, and others, in order to get things done
- Ability to manage clients and stakeholders in a way that builds trust, alignment, and healthy environments for individuals and teams
- Understand the merits of different software development methodologies (e.g., agile, lean) and how to put them into practice
