Programmers, product management, project managers and designers are just roles. It doesn't mean that they have to be performed by different people. Without product and project management, the right product wouldn't be shipped on time. Every role is necessary.

Strictly speaking, no. I would say that is possible to have a very basic product without designers and managers, but not without engineers.

  Unless the designer or project manager engineers it.

    Of course. But that would make him an "engineer", at least in the scope of that project :).

They are just roles, but the OP implies that when the roles are assigned to individuals, there is conflict. This is true. Any software engineer worth their weight is a good product and project manager and knows how not to build something that looks like complete shit.
