Applying ISO 9001 to small scale software development projects

Abstract

The application of ISO 9001 to the development of software products has been assisted by the production of guidance documents such as ISO 9003 and the DTi TickIT scheme. The translation of these documents into an organisational quality management system requires time and effort, and an understanding of both the requirements of the standards and the organisations' method of working. The paper examines how this can be undertaken in small development organisations.<>
