Systematic Mapping Extraction Data

<p><strong>Context:</strong> Agile methodologies use continuous delivery and adaptability to develop software that meets the needs of its users. However, such methods are prone to accumulate technical debt (TD).&nbsp; Agile teams must balance the benefits and risks of incurring debt by managing TD items. Knowing how TD management is conducted<br>in agile software teams can help agile practitioners increase their ability to handle TD items. <strong>Aims:</strong> To investigate, based on the state of the art, how agile software teams have managed existing TD items in their projects. <strong>Method: </strong>We carried out a systematic mapping study covering articles from 2010 to 2023. <strong>Results:</strong> Among the agile methodologies, Scrum was the most used for TD management. Regarding practices, agile teams employ mostly user stories and sprint backlogs to identify TD items. Sprints and sprint backlogs are used to monitor debt and refactoring to prevent and repay TD items. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study maps current knowledge on TD management in agile methodologies, serving as a starting point for new investigations in the area.</p>
