This study explores the challenges faced by Bangladeshi software Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in adopting ISO/IEC 26550 for Software Process Improvement (SPI). Data collected from 12 SMEs revealed uneven implementation across key process areas, with high familiarity in domain requirements (up to 95%) but limited engagement in testing and validation practices. To address these gaps, the study proposes a lightweight PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) framework tailored to the unique resource constraints of SMEs. Unlike traditional models such as CMMI or ISO/IEC 12207, the proposed approach emphasizes simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and role-based adaptability, making it more practical for SMEs in emerging economies. The framework supports scalable and gradual process improvement, enhances quality assurance, and facilitates stronger alignment with ISO/IEC 26550 in resource-limited environments.

摘要

This study explores the challenges faced by Bangladeshi software Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in adopting ISO/IEC 26550 for Software Process Improvement (SPI). Data collected from 12 SMEs revealed uneven implementation across key process areas, with high familiarity in domain requirements (up to 95%) but limited engagement in testing and validation practices. To address these gaps, the study proposes a lightweight PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) framework tailored to the unique resource constraints of SMEs. Unlike traditional models such as CMMI or ISO/IEC 12207, the proposed approach emphasizes simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and role-based adaptability, making it more practical for SMEs in emerging economies. The framework supports scalable and gradual process improvement, enhances quality assurance, and facilitates stronger alignment with ISO/IEC 26550 in resource-limited environments.
