Linear is a fast, opinionated issue tracking and project management tool built for software engineering teams. Its emphasis on speed, keyboard shortcuts, and minimal friction has made it the go-to tool for engineering-led companies — including many RevOps and GTM engineering teams.
Product Overview
Linear's philosophy is that software project management should be fast and opinionated — less configuration, more flow. Its cycle management (sprints), roadmap views, and Git integration make it ideal for technical RevOps work like CRM customisation projects, integration development, and systems implementation tracking.

- Roadmaps: Quarter-level planning with milestones, dependencies, and project roll-ups.
- Git Integration: Auto-link issues to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket PRs and branches.
- Triage: Dedicated inbox for incoming requests that routes issues to the right team.
