We are a recent game development startup company & have created a team of 7 graphics designers with a background in fine arts. We are right now in process of creating a multilevel game for iOS & Android for which we have to create game graphics from conception to execution. We have considered Cut The Rope as our benchmark.

However I don't have a game & graphics background and have to lead this team. So, I need to know how should I set the milestones for completing this project on time. How can I ensure that the team is progressing on a correct path? I want to ensure that the creativity of the graphics is not dampened as well as deadline is met. Graphics being a subjective field, how can I objectively manage the project?

This seems off-topic here and far more related to business management than Graphic Design. – Scott Aug 26 '12 at 18:57
You'd be lucky to find a designer here who also has experience managing the graphics side of a game dev project. They're fairly different sectors and most designers aren't managers. There's a site for questions about game development, including management - gamedev.stackexchange.com/faq – user568458 Aug 28 '12 at 9:51
That said, you might find this book useful - amazon.com/Agile-Experience-Design-Designers-Continuous/dp/… - but I'm a designer, not a manager, so don't take my word for it :) – user568458 Aug 28 '12 at 9:55

This is not the best forum for game dev questions. Here are a couple of links to get you started:
