📝 Product Breakdown Structure (PBS): This is a hierarchical structure that breaks down the project into smaller, manageable parts.

📝 Product Description: Describes the purpose, composition, derivation, format, and quality criteria of a product.

📝 Quality Management: Ensures that the products meet the required quality standards.

📝 Configuration Management: Maintains the integrity of the products throughout the project lifecycle.
