> would you mind sharing how you do this?

Not GP and not my personal experience, but I have a friend whose company has a non-developer do this as part of their full-time responsibilities. They privately check in with every developer at the end of every day.

We have really pushed the "Jira as the source of truth" mantra. Git commit hooks keep Jira up to date as far as moving tickets into "ready for review" when the PR is submitted, and into test when the PR is approved. The only manual cases are when a ticket is moved into "in progress" or blocked, otherwise it is assumed yesterday you worked on the last ticket you had in progress, and today you will continue it
