Ideas and tactics for a killer career", written by American
author Jeff Fisher. The chapter that covers communicating with clients
contains a page where Gordijk provides several pieces of advice
on how to keep in touch throughout the life of a project, including:

to the client, describing what I have achieved in the past week
and what remains to be completed."
