LinearB

Overview

Dev teams using the LinearB + Shortcut integration get the whole picture: better real-time project visibility, and more actionable insights based on data correlated and analyzed across projects, code, releases and team interactions.

‍

Here are 5 project delivery features this integration delivers:

• Pulse timeline view provides detailed visibility of every feature, bug and chore by showing a live feed of activity from branches, PRs and releases for Shortcut stories. Pulse eliminates interruptions and helps make daily stand-ups and release planning meetings more efficient.
• Workflow definition + alerts enable real-time improvement of active projects by highlighting blockers, delays, high-risk code, and branches merged without review for Shortcut stories.
• Shadow work detector empowers more accurate time allocation and planning by finding developer work in Git that is not attached to a Shortcut story.
• Advanced cycle time dashboard enhances the native Shortcut cycle time view to add bottleneck detection by visualizing the time across individual development phases – coding time, PR pick-up time, PR review time and release time.
• Advanced team-based metrics help leaders measure performance and drive improvement of team and project quality, efficiency, focus and health in the context of your Shortcut iterations.
