linearb focus is on empowering teams to improve by making their bottlenecks more visible and measurable. while it's not a super opinionanted tool, it makes it easier to follow Lean principles, and accelerate on continuous delivery (eg. using DORA metrics, and go deeper from there), which is among the few engineering north starts with science behind it. we tried for a long time to use tools that were more focused on reporting resource utilization and budgetting, that checked some boxes but weren't really driving a culture of continuous improvement. linearb clicked almost immediately with engineers and EMs, including some aha! moments right on onboarding.

LinearB is a great tool to link Github (or Git) activity with a ticketing system, and get an overview of what's happening from a code perspective when you have lots of repos and teams. The automation with WorkerB saves a lot of engineering time and smooths out a lot of manual work.

I tested and compared numerous other tools such as Haystack, WayDev, etc, and by far, LinearB was the best one as it combines all the required metrics in a nice tool to use every day. In addition, their engineering and support team is top-notch and friendly.
