Yes.
Get some form of source control software, predictably we use Visual Source
Safe. Developers check out files they are working on and then check them
back in when they are done, and regularly refresh all their files to pick up
changes made by team mates. Essentially the same approach used by C/C++ dev
teams can work with director.
The downer is that you can't save your dir project is some of the casts are
locked, and typically source control software locks the files you don't have
checked out so you don't modify them (and then wonder where your changes
went when you next refresh your files). So other than having to work with
all files unlocked and having to be extra careful not to modify anything you
don't have checked out the process is the same as it would be for any other
dev environment.
I haven't yet used D8's external script files myself, but I think these will
allow us to take better advantage of source control software features (esp.
diff on different versions of same file) and allow even more granularity on
what developpers can work on (ie. checking out scripts rather than whole
casts).
