A Solid Experience with LinearB

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.

Feedback for Teams

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.

Easy to use tool that empowers teams

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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.
