description Very Small Entities (VSE) dedicated to software development lack of enough resources to adopt causal analysis practices, defined in models as CMMI, due to their complexity and costs. It is important to detect the generated defects in the development process, and to make a systematic analysis aimed at determining its causes. However, identifying those root causes is an arduous task, and failing to do so leads to wrong decisions that either fail to solve the problem or even make it worse. On this basis, this paper proposes a causal analysis procedure focused on small organizations PAC-DS (according to its initials in Spanish), which includes activities aimed at identifying the defects causes. After its evaluation in a preliminary case study, the utility of the procedure was evidenced.

Las pequeñas organizaciones desarrolladoras de software no cuentan con recursos suficientes para adoptar prácticas de análisis causal, definidas en modelos como CMMI, debido a la complejidad y el costo de estas. Es importante detectar los defectos generados en el proceso de desarrollo y hacer un análisis sistemático para determinar sus causas; pero identificar esas causas principales es una labor difícil, y no lograrlo lleva a tomar decisiones erróneas que no resuelven la problemática presentada o, incluso, la empeoran. A causa de lo anterior, este artículo propone un procedimiento de análisis causal enfocado en pequeñas organizaciones (PAC-DS) que incorpora actividades para identificar las causas de los defectos. Tras su evaluación en un caso de estudio preliminar, se evidenció la utilidad del procedimiento.
