We use a lot of collaboration tools to plan and track projects. The problem is the team feels updating the efforts and status in the tool is a waste of time and effort. I have tried to highlight that it brings transparency and reduce dependencies as such tools can be assessed by anyone at anytime. But they are more comfortable in being called for a meeting and asked the status. And this problem is not with a few but every person in the team feels the same.
How do I motivate the team to regularly update the tracker tools, by incentives or by penalizing after a couple of warnings? How do make this a sustainable practice?
I need this to be done as I feel more comfortable with this approach and also the organization mandates usage of these tools. Saving Changes...

I think you would show empathy and be understanding to the challenges if any, in updating the tracker regularly. As suggested by Vincent, you need to find the root cause and when trust is there you feel more committed to one another. Saving Changes...
