    It's not perfect but it definitely does its job and what its purpose for. The fact that we were able to access this globally and produce a great product after performing massive bera testing gave that "dev" feels eventhough we aren't. Seeing the cross comment add collaboration made it more intuitive because we were able to narrow down on the specifics of what we were actually testing

    Linear is particularly well suited for teams that need a fast, intuitive way to organize and prioritize work across multiple projects. In my experience, it's been especially useful for tracking client work by priority, assignee, and project, while providing clear visibility into ownership and progress. Its clean interface makes it easy.

    • Linear is missing documentation features like Jira Confluence. We can use Notion but it would have been great if Linear offered more comprehensive solution
    • Eventhough we can manage releases with projects, it is hard to manage them when there are multiple projects being released at the same time. The initiatives feature kind of handles this but if we can assign tasks to a release that would be awesome
    • Being able to invite guests without costing extra money. Platforms like Clickup allow you to invite a limited no of guests without costing extra money.
    • Linear is not good if you are software services company and want to manage multiple client projects. Linear is built for product teams.

    I already spoke to this in a previous question but, if you've ever used Jira, Linear should feel quite natural. It is a project management tool rooted in issues/tickets to which you can also add sub-tasks and various details. There is some customization but Linear has attempted to shape its offering as the most essential features necessary for this type of work.

    Centercode is better than Google Forms and Sheets for our use case of a long ongoing beta with participants rotating in and out 10000x times better. However, it might be a little too complex for what we needed. We may have been better off with something in the middle--a little more lightweight and cheaper.

    When we are using jira it felt light the application itself is very heavy usage and the UI feel like boring and features were not good as compared to Linear. As QA when shifted to Linear i felt huge difference in process of ticket creation and tracking compared to jira and sometimes Jira would get stuck, but Linear didn't.
