I’m happy to announce that we’ve updated the scheme procedures to introduce a new level of certification that addresses this need. ![]() So based on this feedback, I took a second look at the idea. ![]() A lot of stakeholders said they didn’t care, though, and that slavish conformity to ISO 9001 would limit the Q001 scheme in the future. We scrapped that idea when porting over the M3 work into the Q001 scheme, since any Level 1 user company would never comply with ISO 9001. The M3 model allowed for a simpler “Level 1” management system that was “compliant, if not mature.” It was intended to be used by organizations just starting down the path of management system certification, similar to CMMI Level 2. This was by design, since we wanted Q001 users to be simultaneously compliant with ISO 9001.īut the issue kept coming up, so I went back to the work we did with the Management Maturity Model (M3) Initiative, which proposed a tiered system of certifications. ![]() The most common suggestion we received from potential users of the new Q001 standard was that while it did present requirements in a clearer manner than ISO 9001, there were still too many of them. Despite a lack of news on the Q001 front, we’ve been busy working behind the scenes to address some stakeholder feedback.
