The economic case for PMs who understand engineering economics.
Non-technical PMs create requirements that generate unnecessary engineering complexity. Technical PMs: reduce scope by 20-30% through better requirement scoping, eliminate 40-60% of back-and-forth clarification, and prevent 15-25% of rework through early technical feasibility assessment.
At a $5M engineering budget, a technical PM saves $500K-750K in avoided waste annually.
