The idea of stand-ups seems to stem from agile and development houses, but we network/unix admins have daily stand-up meetings with developers/operations too. We chat about what we did last 24, and what we want to do next 24, and if there are any issues we need help with. Helps to iron out any road blocks. I was really hesitant as first, and I think the group as a whole looked down on the idea, but it had really turned things around, and we are working much better as a team. Occasionally we go off on tangents, but it's nice to know what people are working on, and keeps people from slacking off when you're waiting for something.
