The productivity of agile teams represents a crucial aspect for software development companies, since it directly influences their performance and efficiency, fundamental aspects for the constant search for improvements. Different studies show that team productivity in agile software development (ASD) is an abstract concept, its meaning is still being studied and is under construction. On the other hand, its measurement is oriented towards establishing different factors of various types that generate an impact within the team, the organization, and even the market. The objective of this study was to identify the metrics used to evaluate eleven factors classified in the categories of meaning, impact, and flexibility related to team productivity in the field of ASD. This analysis was performed using systematic literature mapping (SLM) directed according to Petersen's protocol. As a result, 37 primary investigations were identified in the IEEE Xplore DL and Scopus bibliographic databases. The findings of this research include the definition of the chosen factors, the determination of productivity metrics for each of them, and an attempt at mathematical formalization for some of these metrics. Furthermore, it was noted that 91.8 % of the studies refer to productivity factors associated with the category of meaning and impact, while there are few studies that detail factors related to the category of flexibility.
