The definition of the role of the project manager varies widely. I've seen C++ lead programmers called project managers and I've seen seasoned (15+ years) project managers who've never written a line of code.
My point is one thats often missed: project management is a discipline in its own right with a unique skill set. It is too often seen as a natural progression from programmer or team lead (at least in the IT industry). My view is that if you are doing programming or technical work that you need special training for, then you are not doing project management.
This is not to say that you can be totally ignorant of the tools your team works on, but it need only be a working knowledge.
