With computing now a key part of every industry, more and more companies are embarking on software creation projects, and turn to tech for ways to organise, run, and track these new endeavours.

In addition, Linear is synchronised in real-time and includes a range of integrations with platforms such as GitHub and Sentry, all of which has made it a top choice for high-performance teams.
