Abstract	Compliance with standards or levels in maturity models and agile approaches are two radically different ways to address and achieve software quality. There is a mixed understanding of the possibility for their co-existence within an organization. Outside of the dogmatic debate regarding their co-existence, however, voices have been raised recently to recognize that both approaches have their merits, and perhaps, can be combined. This paper presents the results of an interview-based exploratory case study on the practices that an agile-by-design organization has put in place in order to profit from the opportunities that compliance to a quality standard can offer in respect to value creation for clients. Our conclusions are (i) that being compliant with a standard helps an agile company achieve client satisfaction, improved product quality and waste reduction; and (ii) that standards compliance does not necessarily impose significant changes on the agile process of an organization. Implication for practice is twofold: our results indicate (1) that agile organizations should strive for becoming more mature as this brings additional benefits, and (2) that for organizations to get standards-compliant there is a need of guidelines to direct them in complementing their agile processes with standards-compliant practices.
