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.
