Project managers and programmers are blood rivals. So firstly, never seek appreciation from your team. If you get some, always be skeptical of these possible sycophants. Secondly, never try to be their buddy - it will never work, and if it seems to, it just means that they are tolerating you. Thirdly, you should use the phrase "good job xyz" ad nauseum (Programmers know that it is BS most of the time but still expect it most of the time). Lastly, learn Excel, especially merging cells and bordering and coloring them..
