Project Management
Project management is more than its literal interpretation. It included assigning accountability, trust, motivation, and respect to those you give the tasks to. By giving the engineer accountability with their project. They are more likely to see it through to its deployment as well as encourage other engineers to solve their issues in a healthy and team-oriented way. This also opens the door for the engineer to request PRs from other engineers that have already worked on their specific project.
