Well, obviously every team’s going to be different, but some things should be standard practice. For the thing to hold together, everyone’s got to be pulling their weight, whatever their role is, so you need to keep a keen eye on how they’re all doing. Keep tabs on whether they’ve done what they should have, and whether they’re getting things done on time. You need to be equal and fair with everyone.

It’ll make life easier - or bearable, at least.
