We often think the culprit to poor project results is a lack of technical knowledge and skill in project management and business analysis.

While this is a contributor it is not necessarily the only one,
nor the main one.

An organization’s project environment can significantly neutralize even the best efforts to bring a project in on time and budget as well as identifying and delivering on scope.

Additionally, since all projects involve people, projects managers and business analysts have to be highly skilled at engaging and communicating with people. Shortcomings in these areas guarantee lackluster efforts and overall confusion.
