A non-technical project manager, or one working outside their domain, is often less likely to micromanage and stays focused on key project management tasks. They're usually better at aligning with stakeholders and avoiding the distraction of taking on multiple roles, which helps keep the project on track.



That said, there are some risks, like potential miscommunication with technical teams, challenges in managing scope, and difficulty spotting technical risks early. Having a solid technical architect can help address these issues and keep things running smoothly.



In the end, whether you go with a non-technical or technical PM often depends on the size of the project and the experience of the team. Both approaches have their advantages, and the right choice depends on the specific needs of the project.
