Why are we paying these people so much money to coordinate things when they can't even remember a simple, basic process that happens on EVERY project?

So, could the coordinators be eliminated do you think? Do they actually serve a purpose? I have often wondered if phase managers and project coordinators are even necessary. I wonder if there is too much redundancy (as they called it on The Office) in American businesses as it seems to me that it is often the programmers, techinicians and engineers who are explaining things every step of the way and pretty much making sure that the job gets done correctly.

They do serve purpose here. There's a couple of good ones, and there is a very obvious difference between studies managed by a good one, and a bad one.

Obviously, the key to any sort of coordination position is a basic understanding of the process and life cycle of a project. I know that some of them can't be bothered to learn it, because they can just ask someone else.
