Abstract
In this paper we present a pattern language called ADAMA to assist the adherence analysis and adaptation of agile methods to the Brazilian Reference Model for Software Process Improvement (MR-MPS). ADAMA makes the adherence analysis and subsequent adaptation of agile methods more systematic, controlled and less error prone than if it was conducted in a completely ad-hoc way. ADAMA have proven to be a successful solution, as it was already applied in the analysis and adaptation of three agile methods in contrast to the MR-MPS model before being documented as a pattern language. ADAMA was applied in a case study and it was possible to adapt an agile method to be in accordance with the G maturity level of the MR-MPS.
