I agree that project management is dying as a field, I think it is a natural reaction to the top-down command and control style of project management popular in the early 2000s in favor of more agile, self-orienting teams. I do see a new flavor of project management coming back branded as technical program management, which is more a flexible position responsible for the large cross-functional projects while filling the gaps of a dev team via process development, facilitator, and/or scrum master. Usually, this role is only necessary for large orgs with multiple teams or highly regulated industries that require a lot of coordination.
