It aims to ensure that what is produced is exactly what is intended. If shooting yourself in the foot is a credible business objective, so be it, but you'd have trouble showing how the business would benefit from it, or in 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 back 20 years, to when I got a varied group of 100 software people through an audit against ISO 9001 (long story, not relevant here). I don't suppose the principles will have changed much though. -- Regards, Peter.
