No, we don't really need titles for any self-indulgent reasons, but being able to phone the likes of English Heritage and say "I'm project director for ...", is likely to get you further than "I'm this carpenter guy who's had a good idea about how to move big stones". You just get fobbed off by the lesser people in the organisation without reaching those who matter. Call yourself "project director" however and they daren't fob you off in case you are someone really important and they get their ear chewed off by their boss.
