             abstract = "Context: Software development processes are considered as 
                         knowledge intensive and therefore Knowledge Management (KM) can be 
                         applied to efficiently manage the knowledge generated. Agile 
                         practices can benefit software organizations in terms of KM. Some 
                         studies have already presented evidence about this relationship. 
                         However, the intersection of these two areas still requires 
                         further clarification. Objective: This study synthesizes research 
                         on KM and Agile Software Development (ASD) using the 
                         meta-ethnography method considering Scrum and XP frameworks. 
                         Method: In order to achieve the proposed goal, first, a diagnostic 
                         was conducted in different project domains with agile and 
                         traditional software development in order to identify the 
                         performance of KM activities. Second, the phases of the 
                         meta-ethnography analysis method were applied in a set of studies 
                         selected from a tertiary review on KM and ASD, as well as classic 
                         guides and area references. Finally, the relationships that were 
                         identified among the areas investigated were analyzed from 
                         interviews with agile development methodology experts. Results: 
                         The most common activity investigated between KM and ASD is 
                         knowledge sharing. However, in the practical view of software 
                         development companies, the attention is on how to use the 
                         generated knowledge. Conclusion: The clarification of how KM is 
                         present in each agile value, practices, and artifacts allows a 
                         reflection on how much knowledge was created, shared, and applied 
                         during ASD. Besides, such results presented in this study enable 
                         organizations to know each other better and to explore more each 
                         KM activity, thus contributing to delivering more value to the 
                         customer.",
