Linear

Connect Linear and Windmill for automatic work summaries and velocity tracking

What is Linear?

Linear is a modern issue tracking and project management tool built for software teams. It provides a fast, streamlined interface for managing tasks, bugs, features, and sprints with deep integration into engineering workflows and developer tools.

How Windmill Uses Your Linear Integration

Windmill integrates with Linear to track engineering progress, team velocity, and project contributions:

  • Task completion tracking for 1:1 agendas showing what got done, what’s in progress, and what’s coming next
  • Sprint retrospectives by analyzing completed issues, cycle times, velocity trends, and blockers
  • Performance review data demonstrating project contributions, engineering velocity, and cross-team impact
  • Blocker detection by identifying tasks stuck in certain states, aging issues, or dependency bottlenecks
  • Goal tracking by connecting Linear issues to company objectives and measuring progress toward key results

Windy monitors issue creation, status changes, assignments, comments, and labels to understand not just what work is happening, but how smoothly it’s flowing through your team’s workflow.

Benefits of the Windmill Linear Integration

Automatic work summaries. Instead of asking engineers to manually update what they’re working on, Windy pulls their Linear activity for 1:1s and weekly check-ins, eliminating redundant status updates that slow teams down.

Data-driven retrospectives. See which types of issues take longest, where work gets stuck, which blockers are most common, and how velocity trends over time—all automatically compiled from Linear data.

Recognize what actually shipped. Performance reviews include specific features delivered, bugs fixed, and projects completed with links back to the actual Linear issues, ensuring concrete recognition of contributions.

Early warning system for stuck work. If tasks are stuck, aging without updates, or blocked for too long, Windy surfaces these issues to managers before they become critical problems that derail sprints.
