    This is why every project should have at least one of those rare engineers who can actually concisely explain a problem and solution in layman’s terms to the PM. Asking the PM to just trust your solution on faith is a bigger ask than you realize.

    This is also why you shouldn’t have PMs who have zero technical knowledge of what the actual project they’re managing is. PMs need to be smart enough to understand the basic idea of what the engineers are telling them. A really good PM will spend time learning at least the basics of the field their engineers work in.
