A recent poll wanted to know if programming standards are still in use in development organisations... and if they are controlled. The question was: does your organisation implement programming/coding standards?

None...............................20%
Yes, but without control.....49%
Yes, with control...............31%

Participants: 369

A majority of the participating organisations have coding standards... and a majority does not control them ;o) What is the situation at your location? Does this lack of control really hurt?

We adhere closely to standards and enforce correct behavior.

It can, very easily. One of the most important guidelines in programming style is consistency. That includes project-wide consistency even when multiple people are working on different modules.
