I like that Linear is a powerful project management platform that allows its users to easily organize, track, and collaborate on tasks and projects. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to create tasks, assign them to team members, and see progress updates in real-time.
I don't like that Linear is limited in terms of customization options. You can't customize the look and feel of the interface beyond basic settings, and there aren't any advanced features that allow you to tailor the system to your specific needs.
Linear is solving the problem of efficiently and effectively managing software projects, providing a streamlined and organized method of tracking and resolving issues. It allows teams to quickly identify, prioritize, and resolve bugs in their code and keep everyone on the same page. This can benefit teams by saving time, reducing stress, and helping ensure that bugs are resolved quickly and correctly.
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.
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 fast, easy and carefully designed. Unlike other project management tools you are asked to work in a methodology which they have defined is best for software companies. Solved most of the problems of other PM tools.
They charge you the same amount for guests and that could be challenging if you are working with external parties.
Linear helps to streamline our dev and design teams. We create roadmaps, projects, and sprints and maintain our backlog of tasks in Linear. We also use it to handle support cases.
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.
