Companies have concentrated on the challenge of developing agile methods and establishing large-scale and global software development (GSD) teams. Research is scarce on which agile roles have been adapted. In this paper, we sought to identify which roles for large-scale and GSD teams had been adapted to agile methods and how the adaptations could be represented to assist researchers and practitioners in analyzing the adapted agile roles. We conducted a systematic review of the initial 1,520 studies, and 81 primary studies were chosen to be analyzed and evaluated for quality. The findings present a synthesis of 17 distinct relevant agile roles that organizations can adopt, such as ``System Managers'', ``cultural ambassadors'', and ``proxy product owners''.
