When they actually know what's going on and understand all the moving parts. Too many act as a status updater or simply delegate their pmo activities.

A great PM serves as the connection between the disparate project groups that may not otherwise be communicating as they should. The PM makes and calls out those connections to create project efficiencies. That and the typical organizational and babysitting type of stuff we all know about.
