If you're not using anything to manage people (not sure how many you got) I recommend using trello.com
It's VERY easy to setup and use.
The rules to make it work are simple.
- one card one task, it gives you the option of having a checklist in the card but I highly advise against it. If multiple tasks belong to the same main item, color code it. (ie programming, mech base, mech actuator, electrical)
- one person in charge of each card. If you have a question how something is going, you know who to go to. Don't drag multiple cards in to the "Doing" list unless you're actually working on it.
- Organize the "To Do" list by priority. You don't HAVE to follow this priority, but at least everyone knows what's most crucial (ex: programmer might be finished with their latest task and top of the list is a mechanical one, he/she would skip down to the next programming task)
- when a task is complete, don't delete it, move it to the "Done" list. Seeing this list grow boost confidence and reminds you what's been done so you know it wasn't forgotten.
