[1] “Ability to manage a project” is the current name in the Group Competency Catalogue which can
cause confusion in an Agile approach that prioritizes the “Product” (Change + Run) over the “Project”
(Change). Accordingly, “Project” should be understood in its broadest sense: investment, Change,
Initiative, Opus, changes to a Product, transformation, etc
