“…There are some attempts and an extensive body of literature to holistically synthesize research findings on Agile. 21 Some papers focus on specific topics including Agile effort estimation, 22 measuring project and quality aspects in Agile, 23 Agile requirement management, 24 Agile software maintenance, 25 large-scale Agile transformations, 26 and quality aspects of Agile. 27 In addition, there exist some bibliometric studies on analyzing the research literature related to software development including those listed by Garousi.…”

“…To identify the analysis metrics to create and enrich the outcomes of the analyses, in addition to what we identified as authors, we reviewed and considered those suggested/used by multiple studies included in the related work section of this paper and those which provide a comprehensive list in this regard (e.g., previous studies 13,21,43 ). We interpreted the data both objectively (e.g., paper and citation count) and subjectively (e.g., thematic analysis).…”

“…• The trend of the volume of publications in Turkey supports previous findings; Agile-related publication production has generally increased over the years, except for a slight decline during the pandemic period. 21 Although Turkey did not show a steady rise until 2012 and had a late reaction to Agile academically, it made a breakthrough after this year.…”

“…In addition, to find a place for Agile-related papers, which was a relatively new subject in its early years, there may have been a tendency for conferences that can be considered more flexible in scope compared to journals. 21 In addition, the fact that there are conferences and special issues, and sections in journals dedicated to Agile 56 and the lack of (active) dedicated journals may be an implication of this tendency.…”

Agile software development has reached wide adoption in various countries including Turkey, even though from which its original cultural backgrounds differ. In Turkey, many organizations have started to adopt Agile approaches more and more in their software development processes. This interest in the country's software development is parallel to what the academic literature on Agile in the country exhibits. However, despite the prevalence of Agile in Turkey, there is a lack of sufficient secondary research and comprehensive review on Agile in Turkey, which poses a significant necessity for further investigation. Considering this gap, we performed a quantitative bibliometric analysis of Agile software development publications produced by Turkish organizations in a holistic and broad approach both for scholars and practitioners. We provide a summary of relevant academic studies that emerged in Agile research in Turkey by focusing on many aspects including bibliometric properties of papers, researchers, affiliations, venues, and thematic contents that are separated into 15 sub‐research questions. After delivering results based on the questions, we discuss the results and findings of our study and present implications regarding the findings. The main contributions of our work are twofold. First, the paper may help the readers to have a quick idea, understand the subject, and gain insight from a large volume of scientific data. Second, the paper can help readers to use these analyses to form future research.
