The search for software quality results in the adoption of best practices in the software development process, such as the practices specified by the CMMI maturity model. However, the CMMI implementation constitutes a difficult and slow process. Besides, the quality of such a process directly affects the results obtained. This article explores the possibility of formalizing the CMMI practices via their mapping into Business Rules. This proposal viability was studied through the mapping of the CMMI part that concerns the Requirements Management area. This approach implies in an improvement of the CMMI certification/audit process and of the information system that supports the software development process.
