One way I have found to help PMs is to get them to think through whether knowing that a given m/s has been completed is useful and if so - to whom. If one part of the team or a major stakeholder (for example) needs to know that one m/s has been completed - then it adds value. If no-one really needs the information, then I advise people to leave them out or keep them for personal reference only.
