Agile metaphor: Agile way of working as Living in a nudist community

Agile way of working is like living in a nudist community. In a nudist community, you do not hide your true physical appearance. You reveal yourself in the true form. Similarly, in an Agile environment, you have nothing to hide about your work – just make is available for inspection to everyone.


When you visit out of your nudist community, you will wear the cloths to conform to the norms of the new community but it does not mean you need to hide your identity. You talk about your small community. Similarly, when an agilists interact to the external world, he presents best of Agile and invites others to try in. It does not mean who ever try in will embrace the Agile way of working – some will and some will not.
