• Quality Planning: The quality attributes desired in the intended outcome of the project/task, the quality standards relevant to these attributes, and a plan to satisfy them.
• Quality Assurance: Evaluating project/task performance on a regular basis to maximize confidence that the actual outcome of the program/project will indeed meet relevant quality standards and satisfy the intended customer. 
• Quality Control: Monitoring specific results of project/task performance to confirm compliance with relevant quality standards, identify deviations from quality standards, and determine corrective action to eliminate root causes of issues.

Our approach to quality is an outgrowth of Markon’s proven, repeatable process-oriented project management approach and methodology that integrates quality management and emphasizes close monitoring and management of performance. Markon incorporates proven management processes, industry best practices, and techniques to provide consistent quality to its customers.
