Linear is a modern project management tool designed for software teams that value speed, keyboard shortcuts, and clean UI. Its API-first architecture makes it ideal for automation and integration with developer workflows. Linear supports cycles (sprints), roadmaps, project tracking, and triage workflows. Deep GitHub and GitLab integrations automatically link issues to pull requests and update status based on branch and merge activity.
Organize work into cycles with automatic carry-over of incomplete issues, velocity tracking, and burndown charts to keep engineering sprints on track.
Automatically transition issue status when branches are created, PRs are opened, and code is merged. Link commits to issues with Linear branch naming conventions.
Plan and visualize multi-team initiatives on a timeline view, breaking epics into trackable milestones that roll up progress across engineering, design, and product teams.
Route incoming bugs through a triage queue with SLA timers, priority classification, and automatic assignment based on component labels and team ownership rules.
