Delivering better software starts with enabling teams and improving the developer experience. With access to productivity data, engineering teams can detect bottlenecks early, self-correct, iterate, and continuously improve.
Whether you’re running retros, measuring workflow improvements, aligning teams against goals, or identifying coaching opportunities, navigating team-specific views is simple. Start having more data-driven discussions with real-time visibility from your project management boards and Git activity for related branches.
Enrich stand-ups and retros with data
With Iterations, you can easily toggle between current and completed sprints to track team progress. As an iteration ends, use AI iteration summaries to surface highlights like what went well, what didn’t go well, and recommendations for more impactful discussions. You can also view long-term trends over multiple months and iterations to see the bigger picture.
Avoid bottlenecks and burnouts early
With the Activity view, understand your team’s workload distribution, such as PRs opened and reviews completed by each contributor. Gain insight with team workflow metrics such as WIP, volume of code changes, and average cycle time to detect bottlenecks early and prevent burnout or project delays.
Stay focused with team goals
To improve productivity and healthier PR and review habits over time, align everyone with team goals around metrics such as PR size, review time, or review speed. If a goal is at risk, send notifications with relevant context to help teams stay on track.
Enable data-driven one-on-ones
Use objective data to help managers support their team members with coaching opportunities. Build a culture where feedback is contextual and grounded in data-driven patterns, empowering developers to grow and do their best work.
Using engineering metrics to empower your team
When you give your team real-time visibility into their work, they take ownership, drive improvement, and build better software together. Engineering metrics only matter if you can use them to improve developer productivity. With LinearB, engineering team leaders get answers to questions like:
- Are we improving sprint over sprint?
- Are workloads sustainable, or are we seeing signs of burnout?
- Are we delivering on time and hitting our team goals?
- Where can I step in as a coach?
