Scale Developer Efficiency
with Workflow Automation
Visibility is only half of the improvement equation.
Go beyond passive metrics with workflow automation that results in the ability to:
Go beyond passive metrics with workflow automation that results in the ability to:
- Automate the Continuous Improvement of Engineering Ops
- Translate R&D data into quantifiable business impact
- Standardize merge policies across your org
We correlate data across your tools to identify
bottlenecks and automate developer workflow optimization.
Metrics alone don’t improve
dev teams…
Metrics, like all trackable numbers, are an imperfect means of improvement.
Without applying workflow automation to your bottlenecks, you’re just staring at numbers instead of actively unclogging your delivery pipeline.

… developer workflow automation does!
Engineering teams love LinearB because it helps them actively improve with two workflow automation tools:
gitStream is a workflow automation tool that sends PRs down unique review paths based on policy-as-code.
WorkerB is a chatbot that reduces context switching by eliminating many of the manual tasks developers hate.

Take A Closer Look at
Workflow Automation
Better Reviews
Programmable workflows help your team eliminate a one-size-fits-all approach to code reviews and create continuous merge workflows.
Policy-as-Code
Standardize quality across your org and improve data integrity with policy-as-code
Automate Manual Tasks
Devs love WorkerB because it reduces context switching and automates away manual tasks.
Code Experts
Engineering teams no longer have to choose between Git blame and Git activity when it comes to assigning the best PR reviewer – with Code Experts, they can now have both.
Best Practices
Remind your team about the goals they set and drive best practices.
Merge Standards
Create a standardized merge process that eliminates ad-hoc team policy and streamlines the PR review process.

“I used to wait around a lot during the dev process. Waiting for unit tests to pass, waiting for someone to pick up and approve my PR, waiting for the build to complete so I can cut a release… Since we adopted gitStream, my whole team is never waiting and everything moves much quicker.”

Why Developers
Workflow Automation
Code Quality
Efficiency
Lower Ramp Time
Team Goals
When it comes to sensitive code, it’s imperative that every PR is receiving the highest quality review.
To improve code quality, teams can leverage the following gitStream rules:
To improve code quality, teams can leverage the following gitStream rules:
- Code Experts: Authorize experts only for high-risk code
- High-Risk Tags: Let the security team take the reins on high risk work
- 2 Reviewers: Require to Reviewers for complex PRs
- Missing Tests, Mark PRs without tests
Code quality is only one side of the equation. Top-performing engineering organizations must also optimize for speed to remain competitive in a down economy.
Workflow automation can help decrease cycle time up to 44% by enabling developers with:
Workflow automation can help decrease cycle time up to 44% by enabling developers with:
- One Click Approvals: Approve safe changes automatically
- Reverse CODEOWNERS: Expand codebase knowledge between teams
- Deprecated API Alert: Request changes on old APIs
Empower new team members to make the best decisions about how and when to work.
The rules that elite teams adopt include:
The rules that elite teams adopt include:
- Connect mentors with new contributors
- Assign engineers to new parts of the codebase
- Add context with labels and comments
Once teams decide on sprint improvement goals, WorkerB will send updates when a specific pull request has breached the agreed parameters.
Some of our favorite team goals include:
Some of our favorite team goals include:
- Pull Request Size
- PRs Merged without Review
- Pull Request Life Cycle Length
- High Risk Work (based on rework rate)
