Managing a team, multiple projects

Brian Vella Richmond, Vic, Australia

Does anyone have any advise how best to manage a multi disciplinary team constantly working on different projects?

I'm specifically looking for ways to improve our weekly 'work in progress' meeting, whereby we discuss projects on the go for the week and individual tasks.

How can these tasks be best documented and tracked? I'd also like to introduce some accountability each following week in relation to the tasks set the week before.

Should I expect them to manage their own task lists and present this to me, or coordinate and distribute these myself?

At the moment the meetings are not so productive, and as soon as it is over there seems to be little consideration to what was discussed.

I think some type of active and obvious record of current tasks would be ideal though am looking for ideas!

Please help.

Thanks
Brian.

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons."
