How to get everyone on the same page?

I study design and this is a recurring issue in the team I'm usually with. Probably a mix of bad communication skills and lack of focus.

This is frustrating as people will show up with work not consistent with stuff I thought was established. I'm frequently doing more than my share to make sure the project is in its tracks, which is no good.

How is this dealt with? I usually wireframe stuff and go over it with them, but it's not enough. It feels like it comes down to going over every aspect of the project and writing down the decisions, even though it sounds very formal for such small assignments. Is there any method that approaches this?

Great design resource
