Abstract
The importance of Very Small Entities (VSEs) in the development chain of the software industry, highlights the needs to provide support for them to develop quality software products within budget and schedule. However, most VSEs do not have experience in the implementation of software engineering standards. Additionally, a large percentage of them are using agile methods in an effort to produce software that meets the time requested by the market. This paper presents a proposal of an international guide, it will provide a guide for VSEs that want to reinforce their agile environment to develop software using an agile approach based on Scrum and XP with practices of the ISO/IEC 29110. The agile guide will also provide a guide that facilitates the implementation of an agile approach for VSEs that are already using the software Basic profile of the ISO/IEC 29110 series. This paper presents the problems that VSEs using an agile method have, the process followed to develop the agile guide, and a description of the agile guide.
