I had a boss who insisted we "document and communicate" our successes. He said it made it easier for him when review time came around, and it's a good habit anyway.
Any time you have a significant achievement, document the benefits and how you contributed to the success. If there were challenges, make sure you detail how you overcame them.
We would usually fire off an email to our boss a few weeks after the close of a project we headed. Our chance to toot our horn and have it on record.
It's handy to have on paper anyway, because it's easy to lose track of this stuff over time. When an opportunity for advancement comes along, you can go back a few years to find examples of documented hard work and succesful outcomes.
