Well, I never had this kind of experience, but when I was a newbie in a company (and in programming) and we were starting a project a more experinced collegue sat down with me and other programmers and defined some standards. Like code standards, and naming variables and objects standards and so on. So we were always helping each other on each other modules, and everybody, even the newbies, could understand everyone else's code. That was pretty helpful for me, so whenever now I'm on the other side of the role, I do the same thing: defining standards, milestones and a personal chat to each one of them, that's really importamt.
