A former coworker, Scott Brown, knew Agile. He'd lived it on the CodePlex program at Microsoft. I wasn't a current practicing developer at the time I was ScrumMaster of that group but I am now. I probably learned the most from Scott. He was very pro-Agile; a zealout, I'd say, but retrospectively he knew a lot about the process and effective communications. He was all about velocity and getting things done; pragmatism. Our team wasn't probably ready at the time for that level of engagement (I know I wasn't) but I am now.
Thanks to Scott for showing me how software development can be fun and we can reduce randomization through quality communications.
