Brazil has stood out in the adoption and adopted the use of agile project management methodologies. In this context, this research aims to obtain an overview of the adoption and use of agile practices in Brazilian organizations, seeking to deepen the understanding of the methods, techniques and tools used in Brazil. To this end, a survey was carried out among practitioners of agile methods, resulting in 341 completed questionnaires, of which 199 were considered valid. The results indicate that agile practices have been institutionalized and become a current business practice. Regarding the adoption of agile practices in organizations, respondents reported, among other things, that perceived motivations were speed up the delivery of products, improve the ability to manage projects and better serve the clients, and increase productivity. Regarding the benefits perceived by organizations due to the adoption of agile methods, the greater ability to manage changes, shorter product delivery time, and better alignment between the project team and the clients were highlighted.
