The notion that a person can perform several tasks with the same efficiency as if they did each task one-at-a-time has been scientifically studied and has been proven WRONG! Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. An individual does not multitask well. ...But a team can do a great job multitasking.
Multitasking is where the team breaks up the responsibilities and everyone is writing on the same document at the same time. Informally the team meets and jots down some notes on what you are going to do before beginning the data recording.
To get organized and foster communication, under each section of the report type the names of the individual(s) whose have this section as his or her main responsibility. Also type up any notes that might be important to the section of the report. (For example: Maybe everyone agrees to have a two graphs. Type this down ans briefly describe the graphs.) This may seem like it will take more time but in the long run it will save you time because every knows what they are to individually do and what others are to do too.
