We have five engineers on our team, and eleven in the company (I think? I forget if we hired one more in Colorado).
We use a somewhat-modified scrum. Stand-up meeting daily at 10am, board with hour-estimated tasks divided into stories that migrate from on-deck to in-progress to done. We also have a nice burn-down chart (on paper, updated with markers by hand) that we update daily.
Overall, it works quite well for us. The businesspeople can easily check the chart for a "where are we on this stuff?" question, so they like it. The task board and chart are good for similar things for us.
We modify how we do it just a little every iteration, but it does keep working better. For instance, how do we managed added tasks on the burndown chart? Do we adjust the red and green lines and deadlines? Do we have a separate "tested automatically" category on the task board to assess test coverage for the story? But it's little stuff like that, window dressing, that we tend to adjust. Overall it's working quite well for us.
