CMM and SPICE models are often too complicated and heavy to be used in small software businesses. Nevertheless such businesses need software processes and process improvement. In this article three small software businesses are studied and analyzed with grounded theory. The findings will show that in process modelling and process improvement for small software businesses, main purpose is to encourage and develop the organizational as well as individual knowledge.
