It aims to ensure that what is produced is exactly what is intended. If |
| 10 |
shooting yourself in the foot is a credible business objective, so be it, |
| 11 |
but you'd have trouble showing how the business would benefit from it, or in |
| 12 |
persuading an auditor. Or the shareholders in the business, for that matter. |

ISO9000 operates at company management level, not programmer level. |

Actually, I can't be authoritative on ISO 9000 today; my experience dates |
| 17 |
back 20 years, to when I got a varied group of 100 software people through |
| 18 |
an audit against ISO 9001 (long story, not relevant here). I don't suppose |
| 19 |
the principles will have changed much though. |
