Engineering Health
See who's absorbing the cost of your delivery speed
AI raised the volume of code arriving, but review capacity didn't grow to match it. LinearB's engineering health dashboard shows who's carrying the review load, how much context switching your delivery requires, and whether the work reaching review is actually ready for it.

Deliver outcomes when human attention can't keep up
Every enterprise wants its software factory running around the clock, and nobody wants to ship a risky change without a human.

Reviewer Imbalance
See who absorbs your review volume
An average review count can look healthy while most of the reviewing sits with a handful of people. Reviewer imbalance shows how many more reviews your top 20% complete than everyone else, so you see load concentrating before it burns people out.
Context Switch Load
See how much parallel work your team is juggling
Context switch reports the average number of work items a developer handles at once, and multitask distribution groups developers by how many tickets each juggles on their busiest day, so you can see whether switching is spread across the team.
PR Readiness
Check whether the work reaching review is ready for it
PR readiness reports average PR maturity, how complete pull requests are when opened, trended weekly across maturity bands. A falling score means more of what arrives needs rewriting once a reviewer looks at it properly.
LinearB's Pull Request insights are very helpful to Dev Team Leads. They can see how long a PR has been hanging and integrate that into a Slack notification to keep the line moving. We can also see who's carrying the lion's share of the Reviews, which is great information for quarter-end team acknowledgment.
