Explanation
Project Manager (C) owns the delivery of scope and timeline commitments to the customer - this is the core definition of the PM role: managing the triple constraint (scope, time, cost) and serving as the primary point of accountability to stakeholders.
- Development Lead (A) is responsible for technical execution and code quality within the team, not external delivery commitments.
- Quality Lead (B) owns testing and quality assurance processes, not schedule or scope agreements.
- Architect (D) defines the technical blueprint and system design, but doesn't own customer-facing delivery timelines.
Memory tip: Think of the PM as the customer's "single throat to choke" - they're the one who signs up for what gets delivered and when. The other roles own how it gets built; the PM owns what and when it lands.
