I agree that preojct manager manages schedule, however project manager also manages cost, scope, quality
The project managger responsibility is to manage Schedule cost and implementation of quality codes.
The project schedule is one of the main components of four main nodes of the project management. The other main nodes are Scope, Cost, and Quality.
Apart from this, the other integral parts of project management are communication, resource management, risk management, stakeholders management, constraints, slippages maintenance etc.
As per PMBOK Guide, Fifth Edition there are main knowledge areas which come under Project Management and every PM has to look after them.
Knowledge Areas:
When Project Management processes are grouped by areas of specialization, they form Knowledge Areas:
1. Project Integration Management
2. Project Scope Management
3. Project Time Management
4. Project Cost Management
5. Project Quality Management
6. Project Human Resource Management
7. Project Communications Management
8. Project Risk Management
9. Project Procurement Management
.Project Stakeholder Management

So from above, it is clearly evident that Project Schedule Management is only one of the component which Project Manager has to manage.
Operations managers plan, direct and coordinate the operations of an organization. The general operations manager is responsible for ensuring and improving the performance, productivity, efficiency and profitability of departmental and organizational operations through the provision of effective methods and strategies.
The main responsibility of project manager is to manage following,
1. Project Schedule
2. Project Quality &
3. Project Cost.
One should agree fully because PM is the only focal point and have all the project communications and can work around the project in managing the project schedule.
The primary job of project manager is "Integration Management" i.e. pulling all strings together. Every project operates under multiple constraints (Cost, Time, Scope, Resource). Small variation any of the constraints has direct impact on quality, which yields into increase in the Project Risks.
Project Manager must keep a regular check on project constraints. Anticipate what can go wrong, anticipate potential delays, slippages due to internal / external factors. Proactively radiate information to stakeholders.
the main responsibility of the project manager to manage the time schedule of the project as a main activity and explain the milestone, overlap tasks , .... for planner and the main responsibility to schedule this tasks is for planner and can adapt again by project manager with the planner to getting a achievement of project
No, The main responsibility of a PM is customer's satisfaction. The PM responsibility is to manage the project to meet project objectives. He or She is the only one who can integrate all the project components into a cohesive whole that meets the customer's needs
no, the project schedule is doing by planner
