Abstract


This paper describes an approach for the modeling of the software process adapted to small software companies. This work proposes a collaborative model that through workshops promotes the discussion between stakeholders for the modeling and evaluation of the processes. For an initial evaluation, the approach has been applied in 5 companies in Florianópolis/SC.
Keywords: Collaborative Modeling, Software Processes, Micro and Small Enterprises
