A sample of 35 sites/blogs on agile methodology and its applicability in the marketing area was identified among them, which were used in this study. The years with the highest number of publications were 2019 with 12, and 2020 with 10 publications, 2017 and 2018 with 5, 2016 with 2, 2013 with 1, and the years 2014 and 2015 without any work that fit in the survey.
