    It’s best to use a question like

    “How’s it going?” or “What’s up?” or “What are you working on?” instead of just saying “status update”. You might say something like, “I’m wondering if you could give me an update on what’s happening with your work. Are you still looking into the issue that we discussed yesterday? Have you made any progress?”

    I’d suggest:

    Hi there, I’ve been following the project since we last spoke. How have things progressed? This gives the impression that you’re interested in hearing about their progress and that you don’t want to be pestering them about it.

    If you are asking a person if they have done something for you, it is polite to ask how things are going. It doesn’t sound rude or nosy. You might say:

    “It’s great to see that you’ve been working on the issue I raised. How are things going?”

    If you are asking a group of people if they have done something for you, it is polite to ask how things are going. It doesn’t sound rude or nosy. You might say:

    “It’s great to see that you’ve been working on the issue I raised. How are things going?”
