PMs and designers speak in standups too. Pathways include product and design packs with the same daily format.
Guide
Standup Vocabulary
Standup vocabulary is the shorthand your team uses to move fast: what shipped, what blocked, what risks landed overnight. When you know the words, you give updates that help instead of vague status. Prompthaus includes standup-ready examples on every card.

Updates that unblock people
Strong standups name blockers with shared terms—dependency, flag, rollback, hotfix. Weak standups repeat 'still working on it.' Vocabulary turns updates into actionable signals.
AI terms in the same rhythm
Teams now mix classic sprint language with grounding, evals, and prompt regressions. One daily term keeps AI nouns on the same footing as sprint nouns. Vocabulary fluency is part of measurable AI skills; Sources · PwC 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer · McKinsey MGI, Nov 2025.
