Results: We grouped the articles into five fields of research: Agile Learning; Organizational Learning in the implementation of Lean and Scrum methodologies: Implementation of Lean and Scrum methodologies; Learning of the individual in the organization and Organizational Learning. Originality/Value: This article seeks interests in the potential of applying agile projects and the organizational learning acquired from this new model.
