capacity, and experience to achieve the required outcomes. Develop the skills of
team members through coaching, delegation, and providing stretching assignments.
Understand, assess, and embed the right delivery methodologies, considering
project and business constraints. Assess programme risks and evaluate
trade-offs between cost, time, quality, risk, and benefit, managing the business
cases of your projects and workstreams. Ensure all deliverables are fit for
