Switch to Linear

AI has changed how software gets built.
Linear is the system that’s kept up.

Stuck in a contract with another issue tracker? We’ll bridge the gap.

What’s happening

The way teams build products is changing

Tools like Cursor and Claude Code have made individuals dramatically faster. But the faster your team moves, the harder it is to maintain control and a collective sense of direction.

  • Decisions sufferAn incomplete picture clouds your judgement

The choice

Legacy tools were never built to go this fast

Most issue trackers were designed for a slower era. They’re built around process enforcement, not speed. Every engineering leader is facing a decision.

Do you keep stitching AI and internal agents onto a system that wasn’t really designed to run them? Adding increasing complexity to an already encumbered system. Or do you modernise the operating layer itself?

Introduction

Linear is the operating layer for this new way of working

Linear is where product teams plan, track, and coordinate work. From bugs to long-term roadmaps.


Because everything runs through Linear, it’s also the most natural place to bring AI into your workflow. Tools like Cursor, Codex, and Copilot plug directly in, so instead of improvising integrations and gluing tools together, everything works through one structured layer.


20,000+ teams have already made the switch, including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Block.

Why product teams are making the switch

Engagement

Individuals actually use it

Linear is fast, simple, and enjoyable to use. Teams that migrate to Linear report significantly higher throughput:

  • 3.3xFaster issue resolution
  • 2.0xIncrease in reported issues

When people use the tool, data stays current. You can see what’s happening across teams, who’s working on what, and how work connects.

Linear was the only piece of software in this domain where engineers actually enjoyed using it.

Intake

Every signal gets captured and structured

Linear connects the systems your team already uses to connect with customers and discuss ideas, like Slack, Gong, and Salesforce.

Context from these tools flows into Linear as issues, whether automatically or captured by your team in a couple of clicks.

Linear automatically structures it for you. Catching duplicates, applying labels, assigning tasks to the right teams. It’s like having a product operations team working around the clock, helping you to build up a picture of what you should work on next.

Linear is the source of truth for what we’re building.

Building

People and agents coordinate work together

The best agentic coding and dev tools - like Cursor, Sentry, Copilot and Codex - integrate natively into Linear.

All of them can be assigned tasks just like a human teammate. Their work shows up where everyone can see it, and engineers can verify code quality with Linear’s code reviews before merging. Giving you massive leverage and velocity in your building phase, without losing visibility or control.

We’ve dramatically reduced triage time for bugs using Linear’s AI.

Monitoring

You move fast without losing control

Linear gives you visibility at every altitude, from company-wide objectives down to what's blocking an individual issue. Everyone in your organisation gets a clear view at their level, and context flows between them naturally.

When humans and agents are both contributing work, you get one unified view of that collaboration. You can see what's being built, by whom, and how it connects to your roadmap, whether the work was done by an engineer or an AI.

Who else switched

Linear is the tool of choice for more than 20,000 organizations, from ambitious startups to major enterprises, including Fortune 20 companies.

It’s never too early or too late to make the switch. Ramp, for example, has been building with Linear from the beginning, scaling to 1,000+ employees. Coinbase, Automattic, and Block migrated to Linear after decades of building with other tools.

They switched to stay ahead as the way teams build products changes.
