TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In 1993, the company I worked for embarked on a major software (client
server) development project and the initial documentation like the
project plan was written to ISO standards. This happened because one
person was committed to the idea of meeting the ISO requirements. After
the initial set of documents were prepared and the project was underway,
the documents went on a shelf and are still there, three years later.
IMHO, ISO 9000 seems like a fad, at least here in the US. It is
probably much more important in Europe.
