LinearB may not be for everyone

We’re building the most useful tool we can for DevEx leaders and their teams. But nobody’s perfect.

Is my engineering organization mature enough for a productivity platform?

We work with thousands of engineering organizations of every size and maturity level. Teams earlier in their maturity journey use LinearB to build a data-driven foundation for their strategies and processes. In many ways, ensuring that you're making the best decisions possible today creates an outsized impact on your business down the line. It's never too early to standardize best practices across teams and reduce developer toil using cutting-edge workflow automation that lets you do more without increasing headcount. As they say, yesterday is the best time to begin an engineering productivity journey. The second best time is today.

Can I use this if my teams use different development workflows?

I already get data from my Jira, git, etc. Why would I need another thing to look at?

What is the difference between LinearB and other tools in this space?

I already use Copilot for AI Code Reviews, why do I need LinearB AI Code Reviews?

Our process / data isn't clean enough for this to give me a good signal.

We're only focused on metrics, can I buy LinearB for metrics alone?

How do I measure the impact of my assisted development rollouts (aka Copilot, Cursor)?

How do I experiment with AI First development in a responsible manner?

How do I optimize & coach my development workforce for this era?

I already have metrics capabilities within my CI/CD toolchain. Isn’t this redundant?

My CEO doesn’t care about engineering metrics, how does this help me deliver more features?

I’ve used a free tool that told me I have a Cycle Time of 8 days, why do I need LinearB?

I’m afraid an inexperienced manager would use this to drive bad behavior.

I can write scripts and get all of this data myself.

Things are working pretty well on my team and this just seems like a nice-to-have. We just don’t have the budget, time, or real need for another tool or process.
