pretty much the standards: you need a collaboration suite (such as basecamp) I advise git for the vcs. It's fast, good for your team's setup, and powerful. Setup a test suite for your application.(unit tests, functional tests and integration) Releases are tested against the suite. If that works, it's pushed to a staging server whose database is a mirror of the production database server. Then deploy when everything is fine.
