ISO 9000 Tip - Write what you SysAid, SysAid what you write....
ISO 9000 is a standard for management. It doesn't specifically cover IT. IT has it's own ISO no. However since ISO 9000:2001 they change the tone from management to customer satisfaction. That touches everything. That touches IT even if you only handle door access (no am not talking bout door with uniform guy with a smile, am talking about door in shop floor, production, warehouses). It's a new western imperialization instrument if you ask me... but I know you won't. Anyway... ISO standard basically said that you've got to document everything and track it. Write what you do, do what you write. And here lies the salvation. You got to write what you do. Nobody else can cause they don't qualified. And don't worry about getting it wrong. Auditing only cares if you comply to what you write. It doesn't .. it can't.. judge the quality of what you write. If somebody outside the IT dept tries to write it for you, let them... it will bound to fail and when it does... you can point this out. This
