A software process improvement provides huge benefits to the software development organization especially in improving the development process in order to produce a high quality software product. However, small and very small organization usually does not implement the software process improvement model due to various reasons. This project studied one of software process improvement model that specifically designed for very small entities – ISO 29110. The Software Application Section in IT Department has only six developers try to implement the ISO 29110 through the development of Best Practice Guideline. The project is divided into four phases where it begins with understanding software development process in Software Application Section, followed by development of Best Practice Guideline document. It continues with implementation on pilot project and analyze result after the implementation. The result after the implementation shows that the Best Practice Guideline provides comprehensive information towards software development process for pilot project. The responds received after the interview also proved that ISO 29110 is suitable for implementation in Software Application Section.
