How do you share activity with managers?

How do you share your activity with managers easily? 

I'd like to just email the activity stream to my manager automatically on a daily basis, but this doesn't seem possible. Does anyone have another solution? 

 

I don't understand why this is so hard. We moved from Salesforce Case management system where  I could easily send a report out on a daily basis of all comments made on cases and I convinced our manager to let us switch over to Jira as it is way easier for me to manage projects, but seems much harder to just share our daily activity with our manager.

 

Please advise, 

 

Thank you,

This is an interesting question.

There is a very short answer which is "automate something that sends activity logs to a manager", but as a consultant, that feels simply wrong.  It's too simple, it's not built into the software probably for a good reason, and the last time I worked in a place that looked at my activity that closely, I utterly hated the working environment.

Why do you thin you need a daily report of a person's work?  Are you not hiring people who try to do the best they can?  Why is that level of monitoring desirable?  I manage a team of 9 people and I don't give a **** what they do day-to-day as long as they deliver.  They would become a lot less effective if they had to report at this level.

So start by asking why these numbers matter.  Do they?  Really?
