Abstract

The Brazilian software market has shown significant growth, with a 7.9% increase in 2022, as indicated by the Brazilian Association of Software Companies. To meet the growing demand for high-quality technological solutions, many companies have adopted agile methodologies. However, the adoption of these methodologies, especially in requirements engineering, presents significant challenges, since this is a fundamental area for the final quality of software. This paper proposes an analysis of adherence between the agile Product Backlog Building (PBB) method and the Expected Results of the Requirements Engineering Process of the MPS.BR (Brazilian Software Process Improvement) model. The objective is to evaluate how the PBB meets the rigorous criteria established by the MPS.BR to obtain quality certification. The analysis revealed that, of the seven Expected Results, four were partially met and three were not met, highlighting the need for adjustments to the PBB method so that it can fully satisfy the MPS.BR requirements and allow companies to achieve certification without compromising the agility of their processes.
