From 50% DORA health scores to 98% in less than 6 months.

LinearB has given our business critical telemetry and attribution for our engineering teams. In the past 6 months the wins enabled by the tool include the following. 1. 90% reduction in time to release resulting in a massive reduction in cycle time for our organization. 2. Cycle time for teams has been reduced by 66% from an average of 6 days to deliver value when we started using LinearB to an average of 2 days now. 3. Team planning accuracy has been very useful for retros to speak with the product manager and engineering manager. As we have improved our practice around planning our ability to hit delivery dates has improved significantly. Prior to having LinearB we were constantly experiencing rollover work and pushed deadlines due to poor practices around planning. While we are still very much in the process of tackling this problem, and LinearB gives us the visibility we need to manage the improvement. In the past 6 months we have gone from an org average of ~50% and have improved to around 70% today. The result is immediate and is allowing us to better time when major feature work will ship and coordinate the business as a whole.

Must have if you are scaling a team

LinearB offers several positive features that can greatly benefit development teams and projects. More than a KPI tracking tool, it really helps in building better coding practices and culture. It can be a great help in coaching and growing the skills of your Team Leads, as it is simple to use and customize. On top of that, you can clearly see that they are working a lot on the product, and listen to their customers. They release useful new features every quarter, if not every month.

Insightful tool that helps R&D teams identify bottle necks and help them work more efficiently

LinearB integrates with our git repositories and Jira and gives us, in BigID, a full picture of the work that is done. Jira can present some KPIs, but in LinearB it's integrated with git and shown in a friendly way to the users. Some of our most viewed features in LinearB are: Cycle time - helps identify bottle necks Work breakdown - helps us see what % of refactor was done and if additional testing is needed or perhaps a retro to why this happened High interaction MRs Review request hanging Projects: Planning & Capacity accuracy. This helps the teams plan better, understand better the work with Jira and adds motivation when they see the accuracy rise :) Also, we get from time to time a report that shows how the work is distributed over the week and over the day, which is very insightful. The support team is great. Always quick to respond and very helpful. And the team of CSMs that we work with are the best.
