That is not what project managers do.
Project managers set priorities, communicate requirements to developers, and communicate expected timlines, problems, needed changes, and other developer-surfaced issues back up the chain.
If engineers (like me) are left alone to work on it, either one of them becomes de-facto project manager, or you probably end up with a well-engineered product and wholly unsatisfied customers.
