Update people. Yes, you really need to update your team. I think I wrote about this a while ago but it’s so important I can do it again.

This is really not my strong side either. I try to set up schedules so I can update teams I work with on regular basis. I know through I can be better on it.

Also updating is a really good way to remind people. The art is to do it at the right time. If you update too many people doesn’t pay attention to the message. If it is too seldom people start to forget about you.

And update with news what you have done. No one likes messages where you ask what they have done for you lately. Or if you can check that they have done their job properly.
