Initiative properties

Top-level initiatives page on a workspace level showing initiatives grouped by "Company bet" label. Every initiative has an explicit priority assigned.

Initiatives define your company’s high-level goals and organize the projects that contribute to them. To help you manage initiatives as your roadmap grows, we’ve added a new set of focused initiative properties:

  • Proposed and canceled statuses make it clear when an initiative is under consideration or has been intentionally set aside
  • Priority communicates which initiatives are most important
  • Labels group initiatives by product line, region, or other meaningful categories

Use these properties to group and filter initiatives on any plan, or build custom initiative views on Enterprise plans. Learn more about initiative properties in the docs.

Centrally manage access to Linear’s MCP server in Claude⁠

Give employees secure access to Linear and other MCP servers in Claude, without requiring them to authenticate with each server individually.

Enterprise-managed Authorization lets Okta administrators manage access and permissions centrally, and users automatically get access to the MCP servers they’re authorized to use when they sign in to Claude.

Enterprise-Managed Authorization is available to Enterprise workspaces using Okta as an identity provider and Claude as an MCP client. Learn more in the docs or in the MCP specification.

Share filtered views⁠

You can now share any filtered view by copying its URL from your browser, or by pressing ⌘/Ctrl Shift C on desktop.

Share filtered views to discuss a subset of an existing view with someone else — like an issue view filtered by an assignee, or project or initiative view filtered by a label.
