As the owner of a project or initiative, you’re accountable for the process from start to finish. Although you should trust a team member’s work, you should still verify it because if a bug is released under your supervision, then the fault lies with you.

It’s like a head chef who makes sure every dish is consistently high quality. The head chef has to monitor the preparation, check the portion size, examine the seasoning, and inspect the presentation of the food before it’s served to the customer. If you can’t do that, then you don’t own the outcome.
