GitHub shows the code, but who shows the progress?

It’s wild how much effort still goes into explaining what’s happening in a project, even when everything is technically right there in GitHub.

Code is moving. Pull requests are getting merged. Sprints are technically on schedule.

And yet, the questions still roll in:

“Are we on track?”
“What’s the status of that feature?”
“Did this go live?”

The tools exist, but they’re often too dev-focused for stakeholders and too fragmented for PMs trying to give updates without turning into a human dashboard.

Curious how others deal with this:

1. Do you automate project reporting from GitHub?
2. Share live dashboards with clients or leadership?
3. Or just… manually summarize things in Notion and hope for the best?

Would love to hear how different teams bridge the gap between “code is shipping” and “everyone knows what’s happening.”
