Project management plays a critical role in ensuring quality planning and management throughout the product lifecycle. The project manager is responsible for creating a comprehensive quality management plan, implementing quality control procedures, and identifying areas for continuous improvement. By doing so, they ensure that the final product meets the quality objectives and customer requirements.

These are the important elements that need to be considered by the project manager when initiating and executing the project.
