What importance does the project manager have for the process manager (or otherwise) in projects related to the implementation of organizational processes?
In an organizational process implementation project, is there a need for a project manager? Or is it only the process manager needed for project success? Both are needed? How important is each one?

Projects bring planned change whereas processes are intended to resist change. Understand the change first, you may be requiring a project manager. Saving Changes...
I believe the need for a project manager really depends upon the time and effort the process manager can dedicate to the project. If I understood you right, the process is not implemented yet, so if the designated manager has not other processes under his responsibility, he could manage the project. If he has other responsibilities, it would be better if he assumed the role of project sponsor, since the implemented process when implemented will be directly under his responsibility.

The project is to implement the change in the process?
Then you need a project Manager.
The process manager doesn't make implantation he manage the process that is in place!

Fully agree with Vincent. It is like any other type of project. The key here is to define the deliverable because it could be a non-physical deliverable. But remember that the project is to create a product/service/result. Saving Changes...
