Linear Integration
Linear is Koalr's issue tracking integration for teams that use Linear instead of Jira. Koalr reads issues, cycles, and team data to calculate cycle time, lead time, and velocity metrics. Issue-PR linking happens automatically via Linear's branch naming conventions.
What Koalr pulls from Linear
- Issues with status history and transition timestamps
- Teams and member assignments
- Cycles (sprints) with start/end dates and scope
- Projects and milestones
- Issue priority, estimate, and label metadata
- Issue-to-PR links via branch naming conventions
How Linear data feeds into Koalr
- Cycle time measurement — time from issue start to merge
- Lead time for changes — from issue creation to deployment
- Team velocity tracking across cycles
- Issue-PR linking for deployment context
- Sprint scope creep and carryover detection
