Implementation and Certification of ISO/IEC 29110 in an IT Startup in Peru

This article presents the implementation of
ISO/IEC 29110 in a four-person IT startup
company in Peru. After completing the
implementation of the ISO/IEC 29110 project
management and software implementation
processes using an agile approach, the next
step was to execute these processes in a
project with an actual customer: software
that facilitates communication between
clients and legal consultants at the second-largest
insurance companies in Peru.
Managing the project and developing the
software took about 900 hours. Using ISO/
IEC 29110 software engineering practices
enabled the startup to plan and execute
the project while expending only 18 percent
of the total project effort on rework
(i.e., wasted effort). In this article, the
authors also describe the steps and the effort
required by the VSE to be granted an ISO/IEC
29110 certificate of conformity. The startup
became the first Peruvian VSE to obtain
an ISO/IEC 29110 certification. The ISO/IEC
29110 certification facilitated access to new
clients and larger projects.
