I would:
* Draft a mock status report with basic data points in it for your boss’ review
* Meet with your boss, tell them you’re trying to facilitate better communication and this this is a tool you’ve put together
* Ask if it works for them, or if there are any other elements they’d like included
If this status report is no-big-deal to put together, it will do at least a few things: set you apart from your other workers, show that you’re a strong communicator, show that you take initiative, show that you care about what your boss needs and finally, it spells out for your boss all of your acomplishments. Trust me, this small investment will serve you very well during your annual review.
