For Development Teams
Keep stakeholders informed without the meeting
Rundown generates plain-English progress reports from your team's Github activity, so stakeholders stay in the loop without pulling developers out of flow.
What reporting looks like today
Status meetings that should be emails
A 30-minute standup with stakeholders every week adds up to 26 hours a year per person. Most of that time is spent summarizing work that already happened.
The PM keeps asking "where are we at?"
Project managers need updates to keep stakeholders happy. But chasing developers for status slows everyone down and adds overhead nobody wants.
Reports that don't reflect the actual work
Manually written updates miss things, overemphasize the wrong work, or get stale before they're even sent. The report rarely matches reality.
Translating code into business language is hard
Explaining a database migration or API refactor to a non-technical stakeholder takes real effort. Most developers weren't hired for their writing skills.
What changes with Rundown
Reports built from actual code changes
Rundown reads your team's Github commits and pull requests, then generates a summary of what was actually shipped. Nothing gets missed.
Shareable with non-technical stakeholders
Reports are written in plain English that anyone can understand. No jargon, no technical debt explanations. Just clear progress updates.
Replace the status meeting
Send a Rundown report instead of scheduling another call. Stakeholders get the information they need, and your team keeps building.
Automatic translation to plain English
Rundown turns "Refactored user auth middleware to support SSO" into "Added support for single sign-on login." Your stakeholders will actually understand what you shipped.
The details
Github integration
Connect your team's repos with Github OAuth. Rundown pulls commits and PRs across branches, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Plain-English reports
Technical work is automatically translated into language your stakeholders, clients, and project managers can actually read and understand.
Export and share
Export as PDF, copy as Markdown, or share a link. Drop reports into Slack, email, Notion, or wherever your team communicates.
Multi-repo support
Connect multiple repositories per project. Front-end, back-end, and infrastructure repos all feed into a single, unified report.
Writing reports that stakeholders actually read is a skill worth developing. Start with our guide on how to write status reports that get read .
