    Who's at the top of your group? A CD? Are they the project manager as well? Sounds like there is no official PM experience. A good resource can be http://www.pmstudy.com/. They offer courses and talks etc. Choosing and practicing an appropriate methodology is important. Best by a person who has actually worked in industry trenches so they have realistic expectations and goals, rather than a general PM come in.

    Another key thing will be balance/reward and team building so you all rally together under pressure rather than fall apart. Do you guys do many group lunches, after work drinks, paintball/laser tag nights or anything like that?

    • We have no official PM (one of the hires we were gunning for this year). Our team is also bi-coastal for the time being so team outings are a lil tough, lol.duckseason
    • That being said, we're pretty close and supportive of each other all things considered.duckseason
    • Right now all requests filter through CD who then delegates accordingly. From there the individual designers sorta take over managing the project - working withduckseason
    • ...stakeholders/vend... getting approvals etc.duckseason
