FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Linear project with a PRD and milestones?

Linear project workflows use formal projects over loose issues for better visibility. They structure work by combining a Project Description (PRD), clear milestones, appropriately sized issues, and consistent labeling to keep software development teams organized.

What is the best way to size and label issues in Linear?

The best way to manage Linear issues is by applying established conventions for issue sizing and labeling. This maintains task clarity, enforces dependency tracking, and ensures efficient workflow management for software development teams.

How do I cross-reference Linear issues with GitHub PRs?

Cross-referencing Linear issues with GitHub PRs involves following established linking best practices. This creates clear connections between project management tasks and code changes, facilitating easy navigation and tracking across both platforms.

When should I use a Linear project instead of tracking individual issues?

You should use a Linear project instead of tracking individual issues when building new features. Projects provide better organization and visibility, allowing you to centralize a PRD, milestones, and related issues under one structured umbrella.

Does setting up Linear workflows require specific dependencies?

Setting up these Linear project management workflows requires no external dependencies. The conventions for project creation, PRD structuring, milestone planning, and issue sizing are applied directly within your existing Linear environment.
