Automatically publish your TeamRetro action items as Linear issues

Overview⁠

TeamRetro’s Linear integration keeps retrospectives, health checks, and sprint planning connected to the work that actually ships. Teams can publish agreed action items from retrospectives and health checks straight into Linear as issues, and pull Linear tickets into TeamRetro’s estimation meetings to run bias-free planning poker.

How it works⁠

TeamRetro supports three meeting types, and the Linear integration works across all of them:

• Retrospectives — Publish agreed action items to your Linear team as issues, with owner, priority and due date.
• Health Checks — Publish action items that emerge from team health checks straight into Linear, using the same flow as retrospectives.
• Estimation Meetings — Import Linear issues into a planning poker session, then sync the team’s agreed estimates back to the source issues.

For retrospectives and health checks, published actions carry their Linear issue ID on the TeamRetro card and are tracked across meetings until marked complete. Actions published in error can be unpublished at any time.
For Estimation Meetings, Linear issues can be imported straight into planning poker and voted on story-by-story. Anonymous voting and simultaneous reveal reduce anchoring bias, with Scrum, Fibonacci, sequence numbers, half-point, power-of-two and T-shirt decks to choose from. Agreed estimates sync back to the source Linear issue, keeping the backlog aligned with the team’s decision.

Configure⁠

To configure the integration, you must be a TeamRetro Team Administrator or Account Administrator.

1. Sign in to your TeamRetro account.
2. Open Team > Settings > Integrations.
3. Click Connect next to Linear. You will be redirected to Linear’s authorization screen.
4. If you are comfortable with the requested permissions, click Authorize to allow TeamRetro to access your Linear workspace.
5. On return to TeamRetro, choose the Linear team that retrospective action items should be published into.
6. Click Save changes. The integration page will show the connection as Connected.

Once connected, Linear issues can also be imported into any TeamRetro Estimation Meeting from the estimation items picker, and final estimates can be synced back to the source Linear issues at the end of the session.
