The challenging part of this is that knowledge work is intangible and uncertain. Showing progress is difficult, especially with low context. So we want things to be perfect or finished or at least to scope. There's a lot more that goes into our work than commits, PRs, and completed tasks.
Second, "showing your work/progress" should be async. Otherwise, it's taxing for both parties as it requires a request and then some sort of feedback.
People though are generally curious and want to know what others are working on, if they can help, how it aligns, etc. Having that ongoing visibility into each other's progress makes it way easier to build off each other.
What we need is a simple, async way to share progress--outside the scope of tasks or timelines.
