In this article we observe and try to understand a peculiar duality in the agile community, whereby on the one hand, we see a serious professional community working hard to improve the quality of software products and submitting to the strictest discipline of high professional standards, while on the other hand, in its conferences, we see the same community adopting a playful free-spirited stance. Invoking an anthropological perspective, we propose that both the serious professional aspects and the playful free-spirited atmosphere at the conference, as well as the connection between the two, can all be seen to emerge from the fundamental principles of the agile community as expressed by its Manifesto.
