Linear
The issue tracker built for high-performance product teams.
About this tool
Linear is a fast, opinionated project management tool designed for software and product teams. It replaces the bloat of Jira with keyboard-first workflows, clean cycles, and tight integrations — making roadmap and execution visible without the overhead.
Linear is the only PM tool I install on day one with every client. It forces clarity on what a 'cycle' looks like for marketing — which experiments ship, which campaigns launch, what gets cut. The speed alone saves hours per week compared to Jira or Asana.
