"A central way to manage projects"
What do you like best about Linear?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linear?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What do you dislike about Linear?

Linear currently lacks a more definitive visual representation for managing KPIs that can be edited and customized, moreover currently lacks android based mobile application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty straightforward - but I'm not using advanced features"

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linear?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome Kanban/tracker tool"
What do you like best about Linear?

Keyboard shortcuts! These cannot be understated. You can use them in browser or in-app and never touch a mouse.

It's fairly lightweight, and smooth, and is constantly adding features.

The API is delightful along with the various integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linear?

I'd love to see more improvements to charting/data/metrics as well as teams.

They are making great strides, however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
