Agile and ISO software standard compliance?

Hi guys, my company is running a agile style, but recently the management decided to bring in the idea of compliance the ISO standard so to prove our software is more reliable etc etc. up to a point we devs find it very annoying that we have to write a big documentation at the start, and keep updating it as we implement stuff. Our company has created a list of checkboxes that are directly from the standard: things like design characteristics, enabling system, interface etc. We feel like it is annoying and we follow the checklist for the sake of checking the checklist not to let us write better software, and in fact we might be writing poorer software because we spent less time coding. Has anyone had this kind of experience and how do different companies do it?
