The Linear integration is the planning-side data source for teams that prefer Linear over Jira. It supports the same flow metrics — throughput, cycle time, WIP, waiting time — and substitutes Linear cycles for Jira sprints in Sprint Efficiency.
What Leanmote pulls from Linear
Teams you select.
Issues with state-change history.
Cycles with start, end, and committed-scope snapshots.
Estimates and labels used in metrics.

Status mapping
Linear states map cleanly to Leanmote's active/waiting model out of the box (Backlog → backlog, Started → active, Canceled → excluded, etc.). Custom states need to be classified once after connection — open the Linear integration's status mapping inside Administration → Integrations.
Cycles vs. sprints
Linear cycles play the same role as Jira sprints in Sprint Efficiency. The first two completed cycles establish the baseline.
Common issues
Estimates not showing — confirm your team uses an estimation scale; teams without one will have empty Story Points.
Triage state included as active — re-classify Triage as a waiting state in the integration's status mapping.
