CALVO-VALVERDE, Luis-Alexander. Iterative software development methodology for micro-enterprises. Tecnología en Marcha [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.3, pp.99-115. ISSN 0379-3982.

In recent years, Costa Rica has experienced a steady increase in the number of micro software development companies, but this growth has not been accompanied by the use of appropriate software development methodologies for such companies. This situation is due to several reasons: lack of knowledge on software engineering, urgency to generate code without much planning, inappropriate use of methodologies that generate excessive administrative work, among others.

In addition, the business world undergoes dizzying transformations that require solutions that quickly adapt to changes. The iterative development methodologies allow more nimbly adapt to this variability of requirements that the sector of IT.

This paper makes an assessment of the characteristics of Costa Rican micro software development companies, then determines the best practices in software development methodologies and then do a comparative analysis and propose a development methodology that suits this type of organizations.
