Who is responsible for maintaining the project delivery methodology memo during execution?

• A. The owner and contractor only.
• B. The RME, with input from stakeholders, to document roles, responsibilities, and milestones.
• C. It is a one-time document created by the design team and never updated.
• D. The project manager alone, without input from others.

Answer: (B)

Maintaining the project delivery methodology memo during execution is an ongoing, collaborative practice that keeps how the project will be delivered aligned with reality as it unfolds. The party responsible should coordinate with key stakeholders to ensure the memo clearly documents who is responsible for what, when milestones are due, and how decisions are made, updating it as circumstances change. This is why the RME, with input from stakeholders, is the best choice: the RME leads the document and brings in stakeholders to reflect actual roles, responsibilities, and timelines, preserving clarity and accountability throughout the project. If it were treated as a one-time design-time artifact, owned only by the project manager, or limited to the owner and contractor, it wouldn’t capture evolving workflows or governance needs, leading to misalignment and confusion.
