Having technical knowledge helps. If they don't have technical knowledge, then they need to rely a little more on the technical resources being utilized on the project to try to get time estimates for tasks, understand everything that needs to be done and the order taht it needs to be done in, and to understand watch-outs for risk mitigation.
There is nothing wrong with this. A project manager's job isn't to be the technical resource. It is to define a project plan, monitor and report status of the project against the plan, and make adjustments to get the project back on course as necessary. Let's not forget to deliver a quality product on time and on budget.
Good luck.

You would hope so, but it's hardly ever the case. I have to deal with this all the time at the company I work for. I have to explain every little detail to project managers. To be a project manager, all you have to do it schedule meetings.

It help if you have the expertise in your field and to have the knowledge of every job that you must co-ordinate with. I'm a PM and I have hands on experience on every trade and job that I co-ordinate.

You must have knowledge...not necessary to be expert...must be able to obtain and coordinate the expertise.

All they need is talking knowledge, it doesnt mean they know how to set up/ fix thing. All they need to know is what is that, how that will work good for the company!
