How software organizations are using the ISO/IEC 29110 standard’s processes

ISO/IEC 29110 was developed containing a set of industrially validated practices that can potentially be adopted by software Very Small Entities (VSE) – enterprises, organizations, departments or projects up to 25 people dedicated to software development.
VSEs usually have characteristics that differentiate them from organizations of different sizes, such as extremely limited resources and informal project management processes, tending to adopt Agile methods and having an historical resistance to the adoption of standards, that are in general developed for large organizations. In this sense, a research question arises: "How are software organizations using the ISO/IEC 29110 practices?".
To answer this question, a Systematic Mapping Study (SM), and a Survey with software organizations were carried out in order to identify the state of the art and practice in relation to the use of the standard’s practices.
Thus, two sets of collected raw data are presented: the data extracted from the primary studies by the Mapping Study (SM), and; the data obtained through the Survey with companies. The SM identified 21 primary studies reporting the use of the standard in hundreds of software organizations, while the Survey obtained responses from 23 software companies.
