You nailed it. At the beginning of my career I thought that success and value to the organization was all about technical skills. 30 years later I now understand that most successful projects need people with modest or average technical skills and outstanding communication skills. It doesn't matter if you have super-genius engineers; if the business people don't really understand the problem that they're trying to solve then you're going to end up with a crap solution (may shiny, fast, and beautiful, but still crap).
