Choose an update
Choose the update format by audience and cadence. Daily team routines need a different level of detail than a weekly stakeholder update or a release note.
Update formats
| Update | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Recaps | Reviewing recent completed, planned, and blocked work. |
| Standups | Running team check-ins from live work data. |
| Slack Standups | Collecting async updates in Slack. |
| Google Meet | Running the standup view inside a live Meet call. |
| Release Notes | Turning shipped work into customer or internal release narratives. |
| Handoff Notes | Preserving context when work moves between people, teams, or time away. |
| Stakeholder Updates | Translating delivery into status, risks, and next steps. |
Review before sharing
Before sharing outside the team, check the update against the underlying work. Open the linked initiatives, bugs, pull requests, completed tasks, or blockers when a status, risk, or result looks unclear.
