  Hybrid work, a fusion of different work environments that allow employees to
work in and outside their offices, represents a new frontier for agile
researchers to explore. However, due to the nascent nature of the research
phenomena, we are yet to achieve a good understanding of the research terrain
formulated when hybrid work meets agile software development. This systematic
mapping study, we aimed to provide a good understanding of this emerging
research area. The systematic process we followed led to a collection of 12
primary studies, which is less than what we expected. All the papers are
empirical studies, with most of them employing case studies as the research
methodology. The people-centric nature of agile methods is yet to be adequately
reflected in the studies in this area. Similarly, there is a lack of a richer
understanding of hybrid work in terms of flexible work arrangements. Our
mapping study identified various research opportunities that can be explored in
future research.
