RE: In what percentage or ratio must a project manager...
 
In my own opinion, having technical know-how, although nice, may serve as a distraction from the main tasks of a Project Manager. A Project Manager must therefore detach his/herself form the technicability and remain focused on the reason he/she is being paid which is to deliver deliverable on-time and within budget. If he/she is concerned about the Technical know-how of the persons carrying out the task, he should address that by replacing or, if time permits, retraining individual(s). Whichever way, he should consider the two restraints, time and budget.
