 Towards a set of guidelines for software development in start-upsBruno Henrique Cavalcante, Guilherme Corredato Guerino, Gislaine Camila Lapasini Leal, Renato Balancieri and Edwin Vladimir Cardoza Galdamez International Journal of Business Information Systems, 2024, vol. 47, issue 3, 389-417 Abstract: Software start-ups generally use development practices that are adapted to their agile and innovative environment. However, these practices, although consolidated, may not be the best ones for a specific context. This paper aims to present a set of guidelines for software development in start-ups. It also aims to show the results of three studies to validate and refine the proposed guidelines: a confirmatory survey, a focus group, and an expert panel. The participants were actors from both the industry and the academia. The results revealed that the guidelines obtained a positive perception from the participants of both contexts. Based on their approval, we can infer that those guidelines can increase the quality of products generated by start-ups and the chances of success for these organisations. Besides, the need for some improvements has been identified, and they will be implemented in the next version of the guidelines.
