Issues
⭐ Issues Created vs Completed is the recommended starting metric — it shows whether the team is keeping pace with incoming work or accumulating a backlog.
Cycles
If your Linear workspace does not use cycles, cycle metrics will appear disabled in the metric picker. You can enable cycles in Linear under Team Settings → Cycles.
AI-Powered Summaries
Every Linear chart is delivered with an AI-generated summary specific to the project management metric:- Created vs Completed: backlog growth signals, sprint capacity alignment
- Issues by Status: workflow bottleneck identification, blocked issue patterns
- Issues by Priority: priority inflation, critical issue accumulation
- Issues by Assignee: workload distribution, team capacity signals
- Cycle Burndown: on-track vs at-risk signals, scope creep detection
