Very Small Enterprises (VSE) have significant contribution in software products and service industry. In Europe 85% IT sector companies have only 1 – 10 employees, 78% of Montreal, Canada based companies have < 25 employees, 50% have fewer than 10 [2005], 66% of US companies have 1-10 employees [2002].
Current software engineering standards do not address the needs of these organizations. It is also difficult for VSEs to achieve certifications such as ISO and IEEE and VSEs usually lack the capability to be identified as quality software producers. Most VSEs do not have the resources in terms of number of employees, cost, and time – or see a net benefit in establishing software life cycle processes.
In 2005, WG24 was established to define a software engineering standard for VSEs. WG24 is now justifying the following hypotheses regarding VSEs to find an appropriate standard for them.
- VSEs require light-weight and well-focused life cycle
- It will be different for different business profiles
- Standards should be significantly different as VSEs lack resources
- VSEs are limited in both time and resources that lead them to a lack of understanding how to use standards for benefits
Initially, WG24 is analyzing Moprosoft, a Mexican standardbased on ISO standard for small and medium enterprises to achieve their objective
