Problem Statement
When working in teams it is often difficult to make sure that everyone is aware of deadlines. Typically it is the job of a group leader to harass team members, reminding them about impending deadlines. Most likely these reminders annoyingly occur to frequently for some team members, and not frequently enough for others.
Is there a better way to keep track of team deadlines without micromanagement by the team leader?
