As organizations strengthen and mature, the gap between the business objectives and technical solutions tends to widen, the knowledge and skill sets become more specific (and different).
Project Management is a strong bridge between these teams. It may not be an objective to become a "Project Manager" yet every employee in your organization does project management - completing a defined task by a certain time, to a specified quality level. Imagine if every employee took ownership of the tasks that they are undertaking.
