When reading the Mythical Man Month I got the impression that their idea of a "chief architect" is more like today's "product manager", not today's "chief architect".

Except that the Brooks' chief architect is a person, who has the chops to build everything himself, but doesn't have enough time.

While the product manager in practice is usually a glorified secretary getting beaten by both management and engineering.
