They ship because they do project management right:

1. Focus on stakeholder management

2. Know and understand what you build end-to-end

3. Because of 2. you can quickly assess the impact of various options to resolve a problem and communicating this back to stakeholders, generating trust

I like the example of 3. In the blog post.

So many people run projects like they just coast around. Never a moment to pause, reflect and proactively thinking about potential risks and possible mitigations.

Oh my, we never saw this road block coming, how could we have known? Well..
