Abstract:
This paper investigates the benefits and limitations of using the Reference Model for the Improvement of the Brazilian Software Process (MPS.BR) with agile methodologies. A survey of the Brazilian and international literature was performed, which used the concepts of a systematic literature review. Altogether 21 studies were included on the subject, viz., 12 articles, 1 Master’s dissertation, 3 dissertation from post-graduate courses, 4 end-of-course undergraduate monographs, and 1 report arising from an undergraduate traineeship. Based on the results presented in the studies, agile methodologies and their practices were found to be feasible used in serving the initial levels of MPS.BR, but for the highest levels of the model, additional practices must be used.
