Management Talk

Same audience and translation rules as a written status report, but shaped for the channel — JIRA comment, Slack post, async standup, email, or meeting talking-points. The audience reads code names but not code. The channel decides the length, formatting, and how much structure to leave on the page.

Use this any time engineering content needs to flow up the org, sideways into product/release, or into a non-engineering meeting — regardless of the destination.

When to invoke

"write something for management / exec / VP / director / PM / release manager"

"rewrite this for [non-eng audience]"

"make this non-technical" / "less techy" / "less jargony"

"send a slack update / standup note / email" about a piece of engineering work

"executive summary" / "exec summary" / "leadership update" / "status update"

"talking points for [meeting]" based on an engineering update

If the channel is unclear after the trigger, ask one short question — "JIRA, Slack, standup, or email?" — and stop.
