Matt - those 4 status points at the end of your post are extremely similar to the 3 questions asked during the Daily Scrum (of the Scrum Methodology).

Interesting. I've been on a couple of teams that used Scrum -- or, more precisely, called the methodology that they used "Scrum" -- but these usages seemed to be more organic, and I'm not sure I've actually ever read a specific description of Scrum (though I do know the descriptions exist, at least). I was talking about this with one of my co-workers last week -- Scrum seems to mean different things to different people (which is, I suppose, OK as long as the job is getting done). If the above points are part of Scrum, then that's very cool -- it seems to make very good sense to me then.
