Great tool for measuring R&D productivity
What do you like best about the product?
LinearB enables you to collect information from your source control system and task management tool and visualize the data. It helps an engineering manager to understand where his org can improve, what metrics he should focus on and take actions to improve them.
What do you dislike about the product?
LinearB provides a lot of dashboards and metrics, and you can customize them. I was missing the ability to push information to managers / team leads, through a weekly email or slack message. Adding this would make it easier to get people's focus on the metrics that are important, and act to change and improve them, faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LinearB enables us to visualize data that is collected across multiple systems.
Great tool for engineering metrics!
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using LinearB for over a year, and I remember vividly how it helped us identify problems in our cycle time through its rich data analytics and in-depth metrics. In addition, LinearB has been an invaluable tool for enabling and promoting our delivery capabilities.
Needless to say, the support from Linear throughout this journey has been phenomenal. Guy Rahamim has been our account manager and is just an absolute superstar.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that springs to mind, but more granular access over individual/group permissions is something worth considering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LinearB offers real-time insights into development processes, helping identify and address issues as they arise.
Great tool to measure all key engineering metrics
What do you like best about the product?
LinearB is designed with a user-first approach, ensuring that every feature is intuitive and easy to navigate. From day one, you find yourself effortlessly harnessing the platform's power, streamlining your workflow without any hassle.
LinearB provides a dedicated success manager, someone who's not just there to answer your questions but to deeply understand your unique needs. The success manager works closely with you to tailor the platform's functionalities to your project, ensuring you get the most out of every feature.
One of the most frustrating aspects of the previous solution we were using was the uncertainty surrounding data accuracy. With LinearB, you can put those worries to rest. The data is accurate, and not processed by any proprietary ML model that makes backtracking data impossible.
Also, the solution just works as designed - which is not that obvious. With data coming from multiple streams and platforms it's essential that there are no disconnections or lost data.
Moreover, they are constantly adding new features offering early access to those.
Finally, their support is super responsive and competent.

What do you dislike about the product?
nothing I can complain about as of now, I'd like to see tools for SPACE framework like integration with calendars for FLOW tracking
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping my engineering team measure important engineering metrics such as cycle time or DORA to make more educated decisions based on data on how to improve productivity, delivery speed and predictability.
A Solid Experience with LinearB
What do you like best about the product?
LinearB has several standout features that truly enhance our workflow. One of the most valuable aspects is its remarkable visibility into teams and groups, which allows us to quickly identify what is working well, and what needs our attention. With full support for standards like DORA and the inclusion of benchmarks, LinearB offers a clear picture of how our teams are progressing, making it an ideal tool for effective communication between engineering managers and stakeholders. Our teams enjoy using LinearB to improve their processes and increase their overall performance. Having objective measures that help drive data-driven decisions, means our teams are always experimenting with ways to improve their impact. The constant addition of new features, such as the Projects view and Grouping, showcases LinearB’s dedication to staying innovative.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite its strengths, LinearB does have some areas that could be improved. Its detailed nature can sometimes make upward management challenging. I’d appreciate a streamlined scorecard-type reports that include benchmarks for easier summary reporting to senior leadership. Additionally, the initial configuration that compared individual performance within teams posed challenges during the tool rollout. However, LinearB’s quick response in offering the option to disable this view showed their attentiveness to user feedback. One potential area for growth is actionable insights; introducing contextual guiding insights, as some competitors do, could significantly enhance the platform’s utility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LinearB is a game-changer in terms of visibility and fostering a data-driven culture. Its visualizations and metrics provide us total transparency into the development process. LinearB’s insights help us continuously learn and iterate on our processes, enabling us to deliver more impact and implement best practices.
Feedback for Teams
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using LinearB for almost a year. LinearB is a robust tool for those who want to keep improving their development process. By robust, I mean anything and everything that can be counted, measured, and tracked is available for teams to review from Jira and Git.
We started with Panning Accuracy and had immediate improvements made with how teams worked their sprints. I had been tracking metrics for years using a spreadsheet, but LinearB has all the metrics already visible. The trends for specific numbers is also visible which makes it easier to identify areas to focus.
The metrics from Git allow the teams to really understand best practices and can track their improvements. The details from Git are easy to understand with plenty of insight at the detail level. There are tools too to help with Git: WorkerB which controls individual developer notifications and Team Goals which includes a dashboard with editable metrics letting the team identify their focus.
Saves time, provides great insight. What else could you want?
PS. Managers love it too and can get insight at a high level for how their teams are performing.

What do you dislike about the product?
With any tool, set-up is required. This can be difficult initially. LinearB does have settings which allow for quick set-up and then refining as needed, per team. But since these settings are per team, training needs can be time consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides feedback to the teams which would normally take time to gather and present. Time savings and metrics.
Easy to use tool that empowers teams
What do you like best about the product?
Overall it's an easy-to-use tool that focuses on the metrics that engineering teams already care about. The focus on DORA and other supporting metrics made it easy to get teams to buy into the "why" we were using this tool and the easy onboarding and interface made it simple for teams to start looking for areas of improvement. When you combine this with a great customer success team that helped to train our teams we were able to start to see results quickly.
As we focus on small empowered development teams giving them the tooling and visibility of if they are achieving fast flow, and if not helping them find the bottlenecks and areas of improvement has been incredibly valuable. Just by giving our teams this visibility, we reduced cycle times significantly within the first 90 days.
From an executive perspective, the aggregations available to measure overall team performance and health has been valuable to ensure leadership focuses on the right things and not just the things making the most noise.

What do you dislike about the product?
After initial setup manual team management (leavers, joiners, changes) can be a challenge, especially if you're operating with small teams or teams empowered to restructure freely to achieve objectives. They've made progress with Github teams integration which we've yet to explore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us understand which teams are operating efficiently and what improvements we should be targeting as we pursue fast flow and consistent delivery of value. This is both at an organizational level but also at a team level.
replaced JF after a long trial, using linearb to empower teams with insights into their bottlenecks
What do you like best about the product?
linearb focus is on empowering teams to improve by making their bottlenecks more visible and measurable.
while it's not a super opinionanted tool, it makes it easier to follow Lean principles, and accelerate on continuous delivery (eg. using DORA metrics, and go deeper from there), which is among the few engineering north starts with science behind it.
we tried for a long time to use tools that were more focused on reporting resource utilization and budgetting, that checked some boxes but weren't really driving a culture of continuous improvement.
linearb clicked almost immediately with engineers and EMs, including some aha! moments right on onboarding.

What do you dislike about the product?
overall a great experience, I think deeper integrations to complete the workflow of continuous improvement would make sense and they seem to be investing in that direction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
empowering engineering teams to identify bottlenecks
Solid tool to understand what your team is actually doing, improve velocity, and report on metrics.
What do you like best about the product?
LinearB is a great tool to link Github (or Git) activity with a ticketing system, and get an overview of what's happening from a code perspective when you have lots of repos and teams. The automation with WorkerB saves a lot of engineering time and smooths out a lot of manual work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Shortcut integration was as good as the Jira integration. We don't use Jira, and would like to see the rich project management tracking. But LinearB is one of the only tools that supports Shortcut so it's still worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing objectivity to engineering teams and helping improve development velocity.
Git analytics tools with sensible, reliable metrics and great UX
What do you like best about the product?
I tested and compared numerous other tools such as Haystack, WayDev, etc, and by far, LinearB was the best one as it combines all the required metrics in a nice tool to use every day. In addition, their engineering and support team is top-notch and friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
As I work in a tech consultancy, we need to manage multiple instances of LinearB. While multiple organization features work, it is not that smooth and introduces some frictiosn. These are not deal breakers but it could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LinearB provides quality and reliable metrics that support the Engineering Leadership team to proactively identify issues and provide feedback to the team with tangible data. Using a tool such as LinearB centralizes data that usually live in different tools (VCS, project management, etc.), thus making it more efficient for Engineering Leads to oversee several projects simultaneously.
