I think management is too eager to hire a new role to fix a specific problem. E.g. if your product has bugs, you dont hire new people just to fix bugs. You should get your existing developers to fix bugs. Dedicated bug fixers won't have enough familiarity with the code or organizational clout to really be effective. QA teams run into this all the time. Similarly, not every project should have a dedicated project manager. They won't be familiar with the problems and they don't hold power in the organization. They might end up being little more than a clerical assistant to the tech lead or whoever actually has familiarity and power. Maybe I just haven't worked on the right projects.
