Is it a good idea for aproject managerto also assume the responsibilities of aquality manageron a project?

Question 1 options:

Yes,this is a good idea. Doing so allows a more holistic and integrated approach to managing the project's costs, schedule and quality demands, and streamlines the trade-off process to help ensure on-time and on-budget project delivery.
