I would add soft skills - how to sell your ideas; how to ask for help, how to offer help with offering offense; how to write docs, emails, or proposals; how to avoid taking offense when it feels like you're being ignored or slighted (usually not the case); how to keep stakeholders updated; creating realistic timelines. I'm sure I'm missing some. You can accomplish more than your technically astute colleagues and work on more interesting projects if people trust you, like you, and feel inspired and happy to work with you.
