Which of the following are roles defined in the Appian Delivery Methodology?

• A. PO, Developer, Team Lead, Architect, Test Manager
• B. Admin, Developer, Tester
• C. Product Owner, Developer, QA, Architect
• D. Stakeholder, Manager

Answer: (A)

In Appian Delivery Methodology, the delivery work is guided by five defined roles that cover from planning to quality assurance. The Product Owner represents the business side, owning requirements and prioritizing the backlog so the team builds the most valuable features first. The Developer actually builds the solution, turning requirements into working components. The Team Lead coordinates day-to-day work, helps the team stay aligned, and keeps delivery on track. The Architect designs the overall solution, ensuring the approach fits the enterprise standards and scales as needed. The Test Manager plans and oversees testing, making sure quality criteria are met before release. This combination ensures that business goals, technical design, implementation, leadership, and quality assurance are all addressed throughout the project lifecycle. Other role sets include positions like Admin, Stakeholder, or generic QA, which aren’t defined as the formal delivery roles in this methodology, so they don’t align as precisely with how Appian structures delivery roles.
