I learned something like "agile" from two guys that had worked with Ward Cunningham. That was useful; but it was also useful that they moved on after they'd trained the team. It sounds nuts to have an Agile job-family; I don't even know what that means. But hiring an Agile consultant for a few months can be transformative. [Edit] I think it's worth noting that neither of these two guys functioned as a "scrummaster" - they sometimes ran the scrum, sometimes it was other people. Even I did it once. They both coded, and paired with roughly eveyone. They were both rather heavy, for my taste, but I learned a huge amount from them.
