High user expectations, frequent changes of user requirements, and the need for rapid deployment are classic examples of these challenges. Many software companies attempt to implement measures for preventing or solving the aforementioned problems. The use of agile methodologies and the implementation of software development standards are usually perceived to be promising solutions to improve the quality of the software development process. Nevertheless, there are several strong incompatibilities between standards and the Agile approach to software development. For example, the need identified in the standards to create many quality artifacts does not conform to agility philosophies. Since Agile focuses on the working software over the documentation, the use of the Agile with standards can be difficult to implement. Additionally, there has been none guidelines for VSE therefore, an external consultant is usually required. This research analyzes various cases of implementing ISO\/IEC29110, a software development standard developed especially for VSEs in Scrum environments. The results of this study provide an Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) for effectively and conveniently implementing this standard in Scrum software development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info12050190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,28]],"date-time":"2021-04-28T10:41:58Z","timestamp":1619606518000},"page":"190","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Visualization of ISO\/IEC29110 on SCRUM under EPF Composer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Kittitouch","family":"Suteeca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4714-5322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sakgasit","family":"Ramingwong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2021, March 03).
