Experiment of implementation of Agile in non IT environment 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.
