Measure

### Visibility across teams, trends and AI

Combine your team’s survey feedback with industry-standard metrics like DORA to understand what’s happening, from experience to performance. 

We guide your team leaders with pre-built MCP prompts, ready-made DevEx surveys, and built-in benchmarking.

Visualize the impact your AI tools are having across teams using tool-agnostic metrics focused on adoption, acceptance and quality.

Action

### Automations that unlock engineering productivity

Purpose-built workflow automations manage code delivery across users, agents, and pipelines.

Automated AI processes spot risks, enforce standards, and automate PR routing before a manual review begins.

By combining workflow automation with tool-agnostic AI insights, you can enforce compliance while rapidly testing new tools and processes across teams.

Every time we run into a new PR problem, we ask: can LinearB automations solve this too? And so far, it’s done exactly what we’ve needed.
