When we reach for it
Product engagements where velocity of decision matters more than an audit trail. Smaller engagements too, where a board that takes thirty seconds to file an issue is a board people quietly stop filing issues on.
Linear
Issue tracking built for speed, and a good fit for product teams who want the tool to stay out of the way.
When we would argue against it
Regulated environments needing heavy traceability and approval records. That is a Jira requirement, and it is a real one. It is not built for cross-programme reporting either, and where a client needs that, Jira is the honest answer rather than a compromise.
What it looks like in delivery
A cycle that matches the two-week iteration, so what shipped and what did not is visible without a report. One board, visible to everyone on both sides, with the same rule as anywhere else: if it is being worked on, it is on the board.
Where this appears on the site
Nothing on this site names it yet
We work in Linear, and no case study or service page currently published on this site prints it in its stack. Rather than describe an engagement you cannot check, this space stays empty until one does. Ask us and we will talk you through it directly.
