What is Linear?

Linear is a keyboard-first project and issue tracker for product teams. Cycles, triage and an opinionated workflow keep planning lightweight so teams spend time building instead of grooming a backlog.

Pros: what Linear does well

  • Blisteringly fast
  • Great keyboard shortcuts
  • Opinionated in a good way

Cons: where it falls short

  • Less flexible than generic PM tools
  • Aimed at product teams
