Offshore Resource Coordinator at Ordtek Ltd,17 Feb 2026 at 02:44 pmHi Everyone – I have just started my MSc in Project Management and about to start my first assessment, which is a project initiation document. I will be using a project I am actually about to start at work.
I work in the supply chain in renewable energy and manage the resourcing for wind farm surveys.
I am really looking forward to getting stuck in and welcome any advice.

Hi Kellie, that sounds like an exciting moment – beginning your MSc and applying it directly to your work is such a strong approach. Renewable energy supply chains are a fascinating space. Hopefully some of our members who’ve recently worked on project initiation documents can share tips or experiences here too.

What stands out for me is how human these “core skills” are.
Creative thinking.
Leadership.
Curiosity.
Empathy.AI will get faster at execution.
But it won’t replace judgment under uncertainty, stakeholder alignment, or ethical trade-offs.For project management, this means the bar rises.
PMs who rely purely on process is going to struggle.
PMs who combine systems thinking with influence and commercial acumen is going to thrive.This shows that the profession isn’t shrinking t’s actually maturing.

Frontend Developer at Yapimag,14 Feb 2026 at 10:10 amLessons from Chess for Project Management
In chess, every piece teaches something about leadership and decisions.
Pawn:
Progress starts one step at a time.
Knight:
Not every path is straight. Sometimes progress requires flexibility.
Bishop:
Direction matters more than speed.
Rook:
Strength comes from structure and systems.
Queen:
Freedom and trust increase impact.
King:
Protection comes first. Without stability, nothing else matters.
Projects are not one big move.
They are a series of small decisions.
You start with one step.
You face unexpected turns.
You learn that direction is more important than speed.
You discover that structure builds strength.
But in the end, success means nothing if you don’t manage risks and protect what truly matters.
Curious to hear what other “chess lessons” you’ve learned in projects.
