Abstract

This article presents the progress of a PhD research that proposes an agile maturity model focused on software quality. The methodology includes theoretical review, model construction, interviews, questionnaires, and case studies. The expected outcomes are a validated model, applicable in different contexts, and tools to support managers in improving both agile maturity and software quality. .
