MoProSoft®: A Software Process Model for Small Enterprises

Abstract

This chapter introduces MoProSoft as a new software process model specific for small enterprises and EvalProSoft as its corresponding assessment method. It resumes the reasons for its creation and the basic characteristics of both. It also includes the results of four pilots in very small Mexican enterprises, as well as its selection as the base documents for the development of an international standard. The authors wanted to share this experience to make clear that software process improvement in small enterprises is possible through simplified versions of good practices created by and for big transnational companies.
