Atlas is purpose-built to keep teams of teams in sync. It's one of the key reasons updates are limited to 280 characters. These tweet-sized updates save everyone time and engage in ways that status meetings can’t.

Brevity ain’t easy. Below are some tips to help you write effective updates for the projects and goals you're openly communicating the status of with Atlas.

Constrain updates to a brief handful of bullets focused on progress, newly uncovered risks, or major blockers. Focus on outcomes over outputs. Bullet your points with emoji to add emphasis, and keep within that character limit. Using the AI shorten update button can help make the wording more succinct.

Let stakeholders dive into the details if and when they need them with Smart Links to pages, issues, and more. Add extra context in the update itself with card and embedded views.

Share the latest date and status, early and often. Include why in your update.

A picture tells 1,000 words. Leverage rich media to provide more engaging detail.

Flag clear asks in your updates and celebrate wins frequently.
