Establishing Team Workflow

Everyone keeps a log of their activity, and core work revolves around collaboratively-produced and organized content. All work is linked on Dozuki - to attain clarity on phases: (1) background, (2) concept design, (3) techincal design, (4) build, and (5) testing/next iterations. Documentation continues throughout the process. Team begins to take on specialized, consistent roles with time:
