Bala its a very widely discussed question and every generation PM faces this as challenge. PM needs to interact with many stakeholders coming from different background some are technical some are not, so PM should have enough knowledge of stakeholders and their work, he needs to be very good with communication. If a PM has technology understanding nothing beats this i.e. Techno-Manager. So, all in all basics of technology should be covered by PM.
