Abstract

In an attempt to increase the competitiveness of small organizations, the ISO has developed the ISO 29110 standard. However, this represents a new challenge for Very Small Entities (VSE) because this new reference model to be learnt, applied and adopted. This paper presents a VSE lifecycle model based on UP in order to reduce some effort in organizations that previously know and have used the unified process. This model implements the technical practices of ISO/IEC 29110-5-1-1:2012 providing to software companies providing to software organizations a ready to use ISO 29110 implementation. This proposal has been empirically assessed by defining the Software Development Process of the Industrial Automation Engineering Group (PRODIGIA).
