Agile methods provide gains in software development, however,
they become vulnerable to the presence of Technical
Debt (TD). Thus, this study has the general objective of understanding
how TD management is currently being carried
out in practice in agile projects. As a research method, a
survey is being applied in different organizations in the area
of technology. Among the preliminary results, the causes
that are associated with the emergence of a technical debt
and which tools are currently used to automate management
activities were identified. At the end, it is expected to build
a briefing with this evidence and share it widely among professionals
and companies that work in the research region.
