This year as the defacto head programmer for my team I am in charge of my team's programming sub-team. This is the first time my team has had more than one able programmer. It is also the first time that my team has had any real programming goals and major software projects to complete. On my own I am more than capable of completing the software we have designed and meeting all of the goals we have set out to reach.

The programming team consists of 3 students that have limited experience with C++, 1 student who has experience with Real Basic but no C/C++ experience, and 3 freshmen who are still learning programming logic. One of the freshmen is very enthusiastic and I had no trouble teaching him to program my teams older robots in PBasic.

So far we have not made much progress on any of our software projects, nor have we met any of our short term project goals. I am having trouble directing the team's efforts and I was wonder how teams with many programmers are able to organize themselves to complete small software projects on time. The project is big enough to give everyone a small part to work on but I do not know how the project should be divided.
