We built a tool to solve this exact problem called Standup. https://getstandup.com/. It produces daily progress reports for your engineering team by scanning git data.

We put our reports up the big screen every day during our in person Standups. Every engineer quickly runs through their work items and it definitely eliminates the whole "having to remember and plan on the go".

As a manager, I also love how it helps me catch up on my teams progress every evening as well.
