Run agile sprints with your team
Set up a lightweight agile workflow for a small product team. Plan sprints, track issues, ship faster, and review what you built without heavyweight enterprise tooling.
Tools that power the Run agile sprints with your team stack
Linear — Sprint and issue tracking
Plan sprints, manage your backlog, and track issues with one of the fastest project tools available
GitHub — Code and PR management
Link pull requests directly to Linear issues so engineering work and project tracking stay in sync
Loom — Sprint reviews and demos
Record async sprint demos and retrospectives instead of scheduling more meetings
Setup guide
- Linear: Create a Linear workspace and set up a Team for your product squad. Build your backlog by adding issues for every feature, bug, and chore you can think of. Set up a two-week sprint cycle, drag your highest-priority backlog items into the current sprint, and assign them to owners. Use Labels (Feature, Bug, Chore) and Priority levels to keep the backlog navigable. Share the team link with everyone so they can self-assign and update their own issues in real time.

- GitHub: Connect GitHub to Linear and configure the issue-status transitions you want for branch, pull-request and merge events. Reference a test issue in a test PR and confirm each transition occurs; merely connecting the accounts does not establish the desired workflow rules. (Read official instructions)
- Loom: Record a short sprint kickoff or review with the board visible and decisions clearly stated. Keep recordings to five minutes on Loom Free, or confirm your paid plan supports longer videos. Share with the team and attach the link to the sprint notes. (Read official instructions)
Check: A test issue has an owner and cycle, the linked test PR causes the configured status transition, and teammates can open the sprint review.
