Did you ever referred to ISO standards in a project documentation?
There are many standards related to Project Management, Software Testing (not ISO 9001) and Applications Development.
Did you ever used ISO standards to develop project documentation? (PMP, Solution Design etc). What about the Scrum Team?

Stelian, My apologies. I only wanted to help with some input in how requirements are defined, validated and planned.
Keith, I don't believe that standards can be used to define requirements, unless they are certifiable, and most of them are not. Anyway, my interest is not in the scope of the project but in the delivery process. Are or can ISO standards be used to define better Project Delivery methodologies?
Requirements can't be validated using standards because standards are for guidance only. Planning requirements is something that to be honest I don understand. I always planed the delivery of the project artefacts. Do you have an example of an ISO standard defining how requirements are planned?

Hi Stelian,

I find I often deal with ISO standards as a common sense guideline but strict adherence to those standards will be considered based on the explicit need. Often, as you know they can be cumbersome at their strict fullest and can be a little overkill when not explicitly needed.

Thank you Mardig. I have the same feeling about some standards. It is common sense rtahre than good advice or practices. Same exceptions are ISO 31000 (Risk Management) and few standards on software metrics.
There is a pretty significant number of standards on software development, testing etc. My view as a practitioner is that they are written by professional writers (or academics) rather than people that are developing software.
Same odd feeling like reading Agile presentations made by people that never delivered a product....
