Well, here is the thing Maria:
It is a combination of some individuals being uncommitted and at the same time improper communication. Milestones & target dates for certain critical things should be communicated clearly to everyone and follow up should be done frequently. Saving Changes...
Some project management gurus, like Neal Whitten, actually suggest we should plan for procrastination, rather than try to root it out.
It's an interesting approach, I'll read about it. Thank you Stéphane.

It's full of tips and ideas that you can try in your projects. I was lucky to get my copy when I attended his seminar. (In fact, I got two copies: I gave one to my boss!)

Thanks for the book suggestion Stéphane.
Getting others whom do not work for you to do stuff - not always an easy task. Sometimes it is not procrastination, or laziness, it is clear passive-aggressive behavior. Transparency with clear communications and expectations may help, or candy :)
