Our team last year attempted to use a deadline system, but it was not formalized to enough detail, only including such coarse deadlines as drive-base finished, and so we still ran into the typical problem of programmers got 2 days to write their code. While I agree that too much red tape inhibits efficiency, some subdividing of the process is needed to be effective.

This year, the team has moved to using a wiki. While it doesn't have a defined structure, we've found it actually works better for our subteam leaders as they are able to create their own displays that are customized to their needs, while still staying simple to use. From there, it just becomes management issue for the mentors and upper leadership to make sure the leaders are keeping the wiki pages up to date.
