How Do I Get My Boss to Communicate Better?

Some of us have bad bosses. Some of us have great bosses. Most of us are stuck with a somewhere in between boss. Fortunately, the quality that keeps a boss from being great sometimes comes from a deficit of skill rather than of personality. A perfect example is a boss who isn't good at communicating with employees.

I work at a small company (10 people). My boss is really bad at communicating. The software we use is our own, and it changes constantly, and these changes are rarely shared with the rest of the company.
