Although risk management influences the project results, it is known that there are cases of failure which main cause is the incorrect use of practices related to this knowledge area. It is also known that the agile approach for project management and its influence on project results has been widely studied, arousing the interests related to project management. Nevertheless, the relationship between these areas is a phenomenon that is not consolidated in the literature specialized in project management. The objective of this study was to verify the evolution of the relationship between risk management and agile approach, in order to identify main risks and the characteristics of risk management models in projects managed by agile approaches. This article presents an exploratory analysis based on a bibliometric study followed by a systematic review of the literature. Thus, it was found that most of the 1023 articles evaluated quantitatively through bibliometric analysis, were in their initial phase, as they were only published in conferences and congresses, and the 16 articles evaluated qualitatively in the systematic literature review had as their main objective, propose a model for risk management in projects managed by agile approaches. Finally, many risks identified in the systematic review were associated with the people factor, which is one of the central values of the agile approach, contrasting the benefits and advantages recognized in the literature for this approach.
