The use of software products is growing, leading to an increase in quality demand. With that, standards were created to implement maturity models inside organizations, including CMMI and MPS-BR. Objective: To investigate the use of maturity models for the development of human aspects in agile teams. Method: A survey was carried out, and the results were analyzed based on the frequency of responses and qualitative analysis. Results: The maturity models focused on people management (P-CMM and MPS-RH) are still little known. Conclusion: Although low, it is noticed the simultaneous use of maturity models and agile methods in software development. But to be used together, some factors must be considered.
