Project management

Linear is everything that I ever dreamed a development tracking tool could be and MORE. I've used so many different tools in the past, and for a me (someone who works on small software product development teams), it's the best thing I've ever seen. What I love: - it's fast. really fast - it's beautiful . I believe the founder/CEO is a designer? It's shows. The UX is flawless. I feel happy every time I open the product. - it integrates with Github - it's super easy to configure to fit the way we work - when entering a new issue, potential duplicates are conveniently displayed - highlight text and make an issue - best WYSIWYG editor in any tracking tool I've ever used. It just works.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but there is literally nothing I dislike about this tool. Well done.

I am using Linear with a stealth-mode startup on a team size of 5. We use this product daily to track our design, development and testing tasks.

It is fast, it is beautiful, it is has fantastic UX, it has great integrations, they constantly ship great, innovative features

Really hard to say - probably that they run product and coroporate website on same domain, so it is hard to find website when logged in

We manage the Agile Lifecycle of our SaaS Product with Linear: Roadmap, Sprints, Features, Bugs...

Simplicity and stunning design base in bento and a lots of product integration.

Lack of simple time tracking tool and lack of integration eg. tempo app.

Working with an international, fully remote team can be challenging when it comes to tracking milestones and issues. However, Linear addresses almost all of these challenges.

Linear makes it very easy to create issues, paste in a load of screenshots and detail, and assign it to a team mate.

I don't really have any objections, it's solid.

I need to quickly jot down tickets for development, often in the middle of a meeting, and Linear makes that clean and easy.

Team interconnectivity is the most helpful benefit of having Linear. We can share issues from one project to another and also check what Product team is planning in the timeline view.

Maybe the sidebar has many tabs together. It makes it annoying to navigate the sidebar. It could improve by making the letter bigger and trying to not combine icons with letters in the tabs.

Currently, many teams of the company are using Linear and it is helpful to have a central place to know what each other is doing, and to share tasks from project to anoother.

Direct integration with Github is probably one of the best features for us. It allows us to keep track of our updates and fixes, referencing the commit. It allows for our team mates to be able to keep up to date.

A bit of dead space and one thing we never really understood is the inbox. There is no explanation on what it is. But other than that, all good. Linear is still one of our favs.

To fall back on our previous answer, being able to update and reference our commits to let our team view the changes and update everything through the app is great.

Linear is as agile as it can be. The UI/UX of linear is so smooth that you will never think of returning to other softwares. I like the fact that it's experience is unparalleled when it comes to running cross platform.

I love almost everything about linear. One thing that our team struggled is that it took some time to get comfortable with linear. I wish if there could be some sorts of guide for users migrating from other mainstream similar softwares.

Linear wants to make Agile processes more user friendly and accessible. Accessbility (keyboard shortcut, look and feel etc) is the best attributes of linear. It's integration with other softwares like slack is also something we regularly use and makes the entire work processes much simpler.

Linear is extremely easy to use. There is a web application and a desktop application (I prefer to use the desktop application). The UI is simple and straightforward. I can add different types of tags/labels to each ticket. I can also change the status, the priority, the sprint, the project, etc. and add engineering estimates. I have used both Jira and Asana extensively in previous roles, and I find the UI of Linear to be superior.

I wish there were also mobile applications like Jira or Asana have! This would help me create tickets for my team, update statuses, or respond to comments on-the-go rather than having to wait until I'm back at my computer. Additionally, I think it would be helpful if Linear also had an adjacent documentation software (similar to Atlassian's Confluence) so that we didn't have to use other software for PRDs, architecture documentation, and other forms of documentation related to our sprints.

Linear helps us with sprint planning, quarterly roadmapping, ticket/project status tracking, prioritization, and so much more! Linear is our one-stop shop for all things related to planning and resourcing.

Easy to use and great for tracking efficiently

maybe the user interface or the lack of possibility to add more details on the progress like, beginning, middle, end ( completed)

it helps us track our work in development and not only
