The project manager is the the keeper of the process vision (the
project roadmap), which is documented in the project plan and is
updated as the project evolves.
The software architect is the keeper of the product vision (the goals
for the product), which is documented in the requirements and
architectural design specifications and is updated as the product
evolves
Elements of these models that are relevant to managing and leading software
projects are presented in appendices to the chapters of this text, including
Appendix 1A to this chapter.
