It's biased for developers and their planning, but as a Marketing professional, the tool is simple and easy enough to use to follow along and even collab with development treams.
The UI/UX is a bit more engineer friendly. It's a bit less intuitive and less flashy, but that's probably what's preferred for developers. I wish there were different modes/skins you could use.
Easily track and follow along plans/sprints with developers so you can work async and meet deadlines to push to market. I love to see other teams on there and get things done in a timely manner.
The best feature of the Linear app is the ease of use and simplicity compared to other task management tools. With Linear, creating roadmaps, sprint planning, and tracking tasks is child's play. The keyboard shortcuts are also one of the best thing I like about Linear
Honestly, there is not much that you won't like about Linear. Things that might be improved can be more visibility and discoverability of sprint performance. Maybe make it easier to see distribution of work between different team members and teams.
Linear.app helps us organize and track the sprint, keep tasks and bugs, host scrum boards and roadmaps, etc. It's a pivotal tool for us and is very high impacting on the performance of the members as makes it super easy to track the tasks at hand.
Linear has a decent UX, allowing ticket management with labels in a fairly easy way. I can have different views saved, create projects and assign issues in it.
When adding issues to a project, I feel like we could list them in a better way to have main categories and sub categories of issues displayed with dropdown.
We manage our sprints with Linear. This means creating issues/tasks for each developper, estimating them, labeling them for stats purposes. This includes both new features but also bugs and improvements.
Its interface is very clean. You can create your own dashboard with filters. And there is a slack where you can ask questions
I would like it to have more documentation and guides on how to get the most of it. It has the concept of cycles but there is not enough information in the site nor references
It is helping administrating our software project. Creating sprints, projects, dashboard. Using scrum methodology
I really like Linear.app as a project management tool. It has a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to keep track of tasks and progress. The ability to easily collaborate with team members and assign tasks is a huge benefit.
One thing I dislike about Linear.app is that it doesn't have as many features as some other project management tools on the market. However, this can also be seen as a positive because it keeps the app simple and focused on the core features. Also lacking analytics.
Linear.app is solving the problem of cluttered and disorganized project management. It allows teams to easily track progress and collaborate on tasks, which ultimately leads to more efficient and successful projects. As a user, this benefits me by saving time and reducing stress when managing projects.
- Speed: compared to Jira, Linear is fun - Keyboard support - Dark mode - Focused on simplicity - Integrations (e.g. with Figma and Sentry) - GraphQL API - The Linear way
- More analytics and insights on the standard plan
Project management
It's straight forward and it gets the job done. Also available in dark mode.
There's a lot of keyboard shortcuts that aren't always intuitive.
Helps track bugs and issues for our dev team.
Great for handling task management while having a very immersive UI which in turn increases productivity within our team, also suitable for collaboration with different members of the group.
Linear lacks an android app which would come in handy which linear currently doesn't have.
Our whole team depends on linear and most importantly it's a lifeline for us to keep us on track to fulfill our goals and requirement and adjust tasks on the basis of priority.
Linear makes managing tasks more productive, we use it to assign the development team to filter and fix bug reports generated by the DevOps team, for better system performance and stability, it also makes collaborating much easier and manages KPI and user credential data in the forms of charts and graphs for better visualization.
Linear currently lacks a more definitive visual representation for managing KPIs that can be edited and customized, moreover currently lacks android based mobile application.
We use linear for its tracking feature which keeps us on track to fulfill our goals and duties more efficiently while having a bonus of different styles and themes boards for tasks and activity which increases our productivity and data flow for better visualization, Moreover team collaboration is also helping us map task and increase workplace communication.
Linear is a slim and powerful development tool that makes it easy to manage and track issues and tasks in a project. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and find the information you need. Additionally, the tool offers a wide range of features such as notifications, labels, and integration with other tools like GitHub, which makes it a great option for teams of any size. Overall, Linear is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a streamlined and efficient way to manage their development projects.
Any development tool needs to be tightly integrated with docs or knowledge management tools. This is where Linear could be improved. If hey created as well a crafted Knowledge Manager i would be very impressed. Something like Slite.
Clean and focussed issue management.
Linear is our go-to software for issue tracking within the development cycle, we use different types of visual representations such as graphs and Gantt charts to improve productivity and solve bugs.
Linear currently lacks a mobile-based application which makes it a little harder to use and analyze things on a go, Moreover UX needs improvement which makes login in much easier with SSO and 2FA.
We use Linear as our daily CRM for task and issues which need to be solved, Moreover Linear has the best collaboration features which makes our team bonding on any particular task easier and help us track KPIs for productivity analysis.
