An element that can be considered missing in this list is ethics. There’s no item for ethics in this list because ethics is at a higher level of abstraction and applies to everything else. Regardless of how we formulate it, it’s essential to be mindful of ethics, and a good resource is the PMI’s Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct: https://www.pmi.org/codeofethics
