This paper presents a maturity model for integrating agile methods and user experience in the software development cycle that may be suitable for small companies. The proposal is in line with CMMI, and MPS.BR and ISO18529. The model focuses on the first level of maturity which seeks to establish a standard process within an organization by defining agile practices, principles, techniques, and artifacts of user experience. It also offers guidelines on how to integrate practices that are important for the evolution of maturity in order to evolve to more advanced levels. The preliminary model was verified by panels of experts. Future studies will be conducted so as to extend the model and do so by detailing other process levels and conducting action research at companies with experience in the maturation of the process of integrating user experience into the software development cycle with CMMI and/or MPS.BR certifications.
