Coordinating work
Use projects, initiatives, and documents to plan work, keep people aligned, and track progress.
A project brings related issues together around a clear outcome, such as a feature launch or product improvement.
Projects can include a lead, members, a target date, milestones, and supporting documents. They can also span multiple teams when the work requires it.
An initiative groups projects around a broader company goal.
Use initiatives to see how several projects contribute to the same objective and to review progress across a larger area of work.
Documents keep plans, decisions, meeting notes, and other context connected to the work.
Create documents in projects, teams, or issues so people can find the information they need without leaving Linear.
Plan visually
Use timeline views to see projects and initiatives over time. They help you plan across quarters, compare what is in progress, and identify dependencies that may affect sequencing.
