I use excel issue and risk logs for project management and distribute them as required by email/hard copy at meeting when escalation is required beyond project manager level, the sheets have columns for task owner & due date.

For delegation people simply open the excel sheet and sort actions by their initials, I ask they do this every couple of days to keep in touch with the project.

So for work actions, I have a project management tool and actions lists on excel, I use Thinking Rock to implement GTD for all private projects & actions.

Here's a list of PM templates including risk and issue logs here...

Hope this helps,
