Be sure to make a project organisation chart.

• Helps with assigning responsibilities
• Helps new team members identify the roles of the rest of the team and who to talk to for their tasks.
• Makes communication between team members easier.

Ideally list contact details in the chart as well.

Keep up to date (this is better if done automatically).

It wastes a lot of time in a big project trying to find someone only to discover they are not on the team anymore, so this is an important task.

Find a template showing the common responsibilities on your type of project. Your organization may have one.

This helps with assigning responsibilities and makes sure nothing is forgotten.

Make sure the role and responsibility for each team member is clear.

• Ideally provide this in writing to the team members so they can easily refer to it.
• Provide clear direction on what activities each person should work on.
• Give clear time objectives (when is this activity due)
• Make sure each member knows what information they are expected to report, and what meetings to attend.
