The role of the project manager is to provide the observability. I strongly believe there’s no metrics collected at the team level that maters in terms of the business objectives other than progression. Something may be classified at hard, but once it’s got done once, replicating it is easy (assuming resources are available). Inside the team, it’s another world and that would simply depends on the teams. Maybe it’s a senior with a few juniors and the former is just handing down detailed tasks to the latter leaving the toughest issues for himself. Maybe it’s a collection of experts and it’s a chaotic collection of tiny tasks that everyone takes at random. The project manager just needs to interact with them, measure “progression”, ensuring communication across teams, and updating everyone about priorities. Handing down the process from high has a high chance of harming the teams.
