I suppose it depends on what kind of software development you're doing. There are probably some large scale defense or government practices in the US that might think using ISO9001:2015 is still relevant for software engineering, but I haven't seen them since I trained as an ISO9001 auditor back in the mid-90's. Modern software development is all some flavor of agile and you'd be hard pressed, I imagine, to find any developer interested in an ISO9001-based process. If you're wondering about WHICH ISO standard you would want to use, I'm only aware of one which they call ISO900003. https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec-ieee:90003:ed-1:v1:en
