Genuinely useful metrics backed by fantastic, engaged support

Using LinearB presents us with combined insights from multiple data sources that we did not have before. This enables teams to take action, ideally proactively, to improve their ability to create and deliver valuable outcomes for customers. From the moment we started our PoC LinearB helped us identify that which we otherwise would not have known, meaning action could be taken by our teams. Continuous improvement activities in teams can be directly linked to LinearB metrics with cause-and-effect visible. Hence, improvements that are not yielding positive change can quickly be re-assessed, and those that are yielding benefits sustained and enhanced. Additionally, any service is only as good as the customer service it provides. This, because rapid resolution of issues, and clarification of uncertainty, is what enables adoption of tooling. LinearB's team is incredibly easy to work with: they are engaged, thoughtful and a breath of fresh air!

I no longer need to calculate metrics by hand

I like that I have a tool that shows me allocations and key metrics without needing to compute by hand. LinearB has allowed me to focus on key metrics like the DORA metrics to understand how my team is doing. I've also been able to accurately figure out where we're spending our time from a resource allocation perspective. Prior to signing up with LinearB I spent a lot of time and energy trying to calculate this information with spreadsheets and manually updating data from our ticketing system. The integrations between our code repository and ticketing system makes those calculations happen automatically. This is allowing us to work cross-functionally within my organization to make sure we focus on the right thing. The ability to drive a software team with accurate DORA metrics contributes to changing the culture in our organization.

From 50% DORA health scores to 98% in less than 6 months.

LinearB has given our business critical telemetry and attribution for our engineering teams. In the past 6 months the wins enabled by the tool include the following. 1. 90% reduction in time to release resulting in a massive reduction in cycle time for our organization. 2. Cycle time for teams has been reduced by 66% from an average of 6 days to deliver value when we started using LinearB to an average of 2 days now. 3. Team planning accuracy has been very useful for retros to speak with the product manager and engineering manager. As we have improved our pracitce around planning our ability to hit delivery dates has improved significantly. Prior to having LinearB we were constantly experiencing rollover work and pushed deadlines due to poor practices around planning. While we are still very much in the process of tackling this problem, and LinearB gives us the visiblity we need to manage the improvement. In the past 6 months we have gone from an org avererage of ~50% and have improved to around 70% today. The result is immideate and is allowing us to better time when major feature work will ship and coordinate the business as a whole.
