Being worked as Agile practitioner for many years, I became known face of Agile among my colleague and I was started feeling that I know everything about Agile, but one day my friend from outside IT world asked me very basic question which brought me down in a moment.  He asked me what kind of work you do in office. As usual being Manager I explained everything in management terms. Somehow I felt he is not convinced. He asked next question if you say Agile Methodology is inspired from life then can I give him simple real time example which is not related to software world which will help him easy to understand. To be honest that time I was completely speechless, then decided to give them real time example so it can be relate with it.

As Albert Einstein says “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough”, my journey begins to convince myself What is Agile methodology in simple real-time examples.

Few years back, I purchased farm house land & Farm house development idea was going through my mind. Thought of building farm house with Agile principal, is it possible ? If I succeed then I can get double benefited. One answer to my kid’s question and implementation of agile in real time. That was one of the awesome decision in my life. It change my view towards Agile project management & I can understood agile much better.
