Oh, if I remember right, you're wrong. ISO9000 is easy. You can create a management handbook that states "Rule 1: quality is ensured by creating no documentation of any process at all". Here you go. ISO 9001 is quite a different story. Oh, if you want to have fun, read how ISO9002 works :D
Well... it's mostly called "ISO 9000" around here - sort of the "base standard". And if you have somebody who is only trained in "process management" or similar stuff, they will not write just one rule I can tell you that from personal experience :D The idea of a "project manager" is to have somebody who takes care of all of the red tape so that people who *should* work on the project *can* work on the project. In real life however it's often the people who are on a powertrip and want to keep "delegating" work that get these positions and pesto: they sit there "overseeing" everybody instead of doing their job... :(
EDIT: Oh and "ISOver9001" wouldn't sound so meme-ic :) Also, have you seen the second installment? "But it was CHEAP!" I just realized I didn't post it in LJ...
*nods* I know, I know. Sometimes it's the same here at work. Not getting any proper job description but "something like that" and the rat's tail is always gonna be looooong.
