Managing the change request process, ensuring any changes to scope, schedule, or resources are properly documented and are effectively communicated to all relevant stakeholders.
Essential:

Governance Frameworks: Familiarity with specific project methodologies like Agile, Scrum, or PRINCE2
Introductory Certifications: Holding a APM or a PRINCE2 Foundation certification
Process Improvement: Experience identifying inefficiencies in a workflow and suggesting ways to streamline a project process
