Overall Satisfaction with Linear App

We use Linear to manage the roadmap, dev and design tasks and support cases. All of our projects and their details are on Linear.
It helps to manage all the tasks in one place. Dev, Design and QA teams collaborate on Linear. As a product manager, I use Linear to overlook the progress of the sprint, create tasks and projects and create support requests from Intercom if they need the help of the engineering team

Pros

  • Managing the high level goals and roadmap of our product
  • Manage the tasks for dev, QA and design teams
  • Visualise the progress of the sprints and projects
  • Collaborate on tasks

Cons

  • 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.
  • Linear decreased the time we take for releases of features
  • Linear has helped us work on multiple projects saving time
  • Customer support cases are handled well through Linear which improved customer satisfaction
Linear is the most UI/UX friendly, modern and well though project management tool out there.
I've used ClickUp, Jira, Monday, Asana in the past.
Even though platforms like ClickUp are pretty flexible, Linear is fast, simple, has a lot of keyboard shortcuts, better UI/UX, modern product development concepts built into it, listens to user feedback

Do you think Linear App delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Linear App's feature set?

Yes

Did Linear App live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Linear App go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Linear App again?

Yes

If you are a product based company, Linear is the most powerful fine-tuned platform. Their methodology really works well. It's fast, got nice UI/UX, feels modern, ability to manage projects, love how they show comments as a thread, the integrations like Figma works really well

But if you are a software service company and have multiple client projects, it is hard to manage that in Linear plus you would have to pay for guests if you are inviting client stakeholders to overlook progress.
