I'm not doing sprints now, but we have stand-ups. I think the stand-up itself is a great way to keep people on track. Plus it gives management a much better idea of when to expect things to be delivered. I don't have a great opinion of sprints for a couple of reasons. I used to have a job that did sprints. Development was often rushed to fit the sprints which led to a high rate of defects. And now I'm working with a vendor that does development in sprints. When we ask them for changes, it adds a large amount of lag to actually getting them because we have to wait up to 2 weeks for them to reprioritize, and then at least 2 weeks for release.
