Choose the repository and date window first
Start from the project whose work you want to summarize. Choose the supported one-day or two-day range. This keeps an update about a client repository from absorbing unrelated work in another project.
Standup uses recorded successful execution attempts in that window. A task can have multiple attempts, so read the dated evidence rather than assuming its original creation date describes when the useful work happened. Queued ideas and unfinished requests do not belong in a shipped-work update.
Use the changelog as a draft grounded in evidence
The generated update groups the available work into Added, Changed, Fixed, and Security. It can answer follow-up questions using the same saved evidence. That gives you a way to ask which task supports a line or what files the execution reported changing.
Successful execution is not the same as a production release. Before telling a customer that a feature shipped, check whether its changes were reviewed, merged, and deployed through your own release process. Standup records development work; your release notes establish the publication story.
Translate changes into a customer workflow
A technical line such as “added filtered CSV export” becomes useful when you explain what a customer can now do and where to find it. Keep the explanation tied to the actual result. If the task only improved a preview, do not present it as a new export capability.
Use one concrete example, mention a limitation when it affects the next step, and link to the relevant guide. Avoid fabricated time savings, customer quotations, or claims about adoption. Specific product behavior is more persuasive than a superlative without evidence.
Keep a review habit around the summary
Read each line against the task result and available patches. Remove internal operational details that do not belong in a customer update. Where a result is ambiguous, inspect the work or leave the claim out.
The website release articles follow the same evidence principle at a different boundary: they use published release notes and explain the practical workflow behind relevant changes. Standup helps collect development evidence. Release notes and editorial review decide what becomes a public product claim.
