Keep the release tracker honest in Google Sheets
Email Carly Friday afternoon and she'll pull every PR merged this week from GitHub, match each one to its Linear ticket, and write the rows into the Release Tracker Sheet — so the doc the team actually reads stops drifting from what shipped.

Google Sheets What Carly does
- 01 List every PR merged this week across the relevant repos
- 02 Match each PR to its originating Linear ticket via branch or description
- 03 Write rows to the Release Tracker Sheet — PR, ticket, owner, area, customer-facing flag
- 04 Flag any merged PR with no Linear link or no test changes
- 05 Drop the flag list at the top of the tab for quick review
A release tracker that matches what shipped
The sheet reflects reality every Friday — not whatever someone remembered to log. Untracked PRs and missing tests surface while the context is still fresh, instead of two sprints later when nobody can reconstruct what changed.
Email this to Carly to kick it off.
Hey Carly, Can you update the Release Tracker Sheet for this week? Pull every PR merged in the last 7 days from GitHub, then match each one to its originating Linear ticket — branch name or PR description usually has it. Write the rows into the Release Tracker tab — PR, ticket, owner, area, and a customer-facing flag (yes / no). Then call out two things separately at the top: any merged PR with no Linear link, and any merged PR that didn't touch tests. Leave it as a draft pass for me before the team sees it. Thanks!

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
