However, Multivocal Literature Review (MLR) has not been conducted to address Agile SD Teams issues and use of Management Framework 3.0 for Agile SD Teams issues’ resolution. For conduct of this research, Multivocal Literature Review (MLR) has been performed. For MLR, Grey and Scientific Literature has been taken into consideration and studied. Grey and Scientific Literature has been compiled for taken into consideration Researchers as well as industry experts/ practitioners. Inclusion/ Exclusion Protocol has been defined for refinement of literature. As a qualitative measure, Quality Assessment Criteria (QAC) for Grey and Scientific Literature has been applied for final selection of literature. Research has been performed as three (3) major steps. This research focuses on issues faced by Agile SD Teams, most widely used Agile SD methodology and resolution of those issues/ challenges through the use of Management 3.0 Framework of Jurgen Appelo. As a part of research, Thematic Analysis has been performed from sources of Grey and Scientific Literature.
