The Brazilian market for software and services has grown considerably in recent years. According to the Brazilian Association of Software Companies (ABES, 2011), Brazil occupies the eleventh position on the world stage, moving 19.04 billion dollars, equivalent to 1.0% of gross domestic product (GDP), this total, 6.74 billion refer to software production, representing 2.2% of the world market. However, fierce competition manifests itself in the same proportion opportunities. The national software compete with themselves and with those from other countries, because there are not yet many barriers or legal restrictions against marketing of international products (TONINI et al, 2008). This sector is still characterized by evolving at a rapid pace, which causes frequent changes related to products, services, processes and technology itself (MAURER et al, 2002; NIASI, 2009). Therefore, it is believed to be fundamental for Software Development Organizations (ODSs) create a work environment that supports continuous learning to cope with the challenges of the new economy and remain competitive in the market. In this context, this study aims to understand how learning occurs continuously of ODSs that have deployed MPSBR and identify which of its aspects favor the individual and collective learning. By this, we carried out a qualitative study of type multicase in four ODSs three classified at Level C and a level F. It was used as a method of data collection to semi-structured interview. We interviewed individuals involved in software development and representatives of the group responsible for the implementation of MPSBR. The analyzes were performed using software for qualitative analyzes that allowed Weft_QDA from the transcript of the interviews, the establishment of analytical categories for the constructs and verifying relationships between their categories. By the results was possible to understand how MPSBR can contribute to the establishment of a software process quality and affordable, understand how MPSBR can encourage continuous learning through their assumptions and developers understand how these companies learn at level individual and collective.
