Team productivity in agile software development (ASD) is made up of a set of factors that allow evaluating the performance of each one of the members of a team, a crucial aspect to establish the success or failure of a project. The objective of this research is to determine the perception that ASD team professionals have about the measurement of productivity based on the factors identified in a preliminary study. For this purpose, a survey was applied that was oriented under the Kitchenham and Pfleeger protocol to 82 members of ASD teams. The main results indicate that professionals in the software industry associate productivity as an indicator of improvement within the team's processes and in the fulfillment of objectives for a client. Among the factors that the participants considered essential in measuring team productivity at ASD, Speed, Work Capacity and Customer Satisfaction stand out. Finally, the factors that affect the performance of a team when they adapt to change and those related to the identity of the team, were not mentioned by the professionals as part of the current evaluation process on productivity in ASD teams, but they were considered relevant. to be included later.
