Keep the manager informed about your task state

How to keep the manager aware of your work

Let's imagine the situation that when you are doing some task, your team leader approaches you and asks how much is already done and how much it will take you to complete it. This question may distract you from the work and make feel pressure and stress. But you can't complain against team leader's meddling, as it's his legal right to control your work and take an interest in your task estimated and actual time in order to plan your further working process. The best thing you can do in such case is to use specific software that will help you to keep the manager aware of the current state of your To Do List.

"Tasks in real time mode" To Do List

• When you start doing the task, record its estimated time in order to let your manager realize how much you may need to accomplish this task successfully
• While doing the task note the changes in task status and completion degree
• Inform your manager when the task is completed
• Use software to enter task estimated time and change task status and completion
