An easy-to-use project management solution with good stability and scalability
The recent update on the solution has made it a little bit complex. For example, to create a team and a project, there is a separate button that you need to click. Recently they updated it with only one button making it difficult for us to create teams or supply teams other than a project. Hence the solution could be more user-friendly. Additionally, some additional features need to be integrated so it'll be easy for other companies or project managers to manage software projects.

Unified project tracking has streamlined cross‑team work and improved remote collaboration
Linear offers many best features, as it is very fast. It looks very good, has a very sleek design, a very nice looking UI, very good filtering, and very good integration with GitHub that makes a lot of sense, with really good hotkeys if I want to quickly go through something. The GitHub integration in Linear helps my team day to day, as I can see in Linear what is the status of the PR that is attached to the Linear ticket, and I can quickly go from Linear to GitHub. Linear has positively impacted my organization, as we are able to manage our tasks without the usual overhead that something like Jira would bring. It gives transparency to everyone, enables remote workers to know what to work on, allows the product managers to plan a sprint, gives a central place for engineers, designers, and product managers to drop their topics, and allows us to have feature requests.
