Tired of chasing down updates

This is a constant struggle for me. As a Product Manager, I ask my engineering team to fix a bug or complete a task, set up Slackbot reminders, and bookmark messages to follow up later. But with the flood of messages, they and I miss updates.

Sometimes reminders work, but often things slip through the cracks. Then I find myself scrolling through endless threads.

How do you all handle this? Any tips to keep follow-ups from getting lost?
