On 15 Sep 2015, a word was used in PMI Agility Conference 2015. The word was NIMBLE. It was being used interchangeably for AGILE but I could not catch much on similarities or Differences between the two. Can anyone help me understand NIMBE?

I may be wrong, but I dont think Nimble is an Agile or related term, but they may have been using it interchangeably because Nimble means "quick and light in movement or action", "able to think and understand quickly" - from Google, and these are some of the key properties/benefits of Agile methodology.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks

Yes you are right but I suppose you must listen to the Agility Conference presentations. Nimble and Agile are the terms fast coming on the front line, may or may not mean the same.
