This release is especially close to my heart.
Every project starts out in life as just a vague idea. We want those ideas to live comfortably in
@linear
Introducing the next evolution of projects in Linear.
Close the gap between planning and building.

I'll be talking about a different approach to growing a product team while maintaining a coherent vision, including how we apply this at Linear.

Building software at scale doesn't need to be complicated. It's really just 2 things — make your high-level goals legible, and monitor their progress.
We made Initiatives specifically for this purpose, so everyone can start and stay on the same page, from idea through launch.
Introducing Initiatives. Coordinate strategic
product efforts and monitor their progress at scale.

A lot of our “best practices” come from industry influencers trying to sell you a book, or get invited on speaking tours.
Things get adopted and encoded into company handbooks; but if you trace the origin it’s a middle manager from big tech trying to start a literary career.

As always, beautiful work by
@ambedgar

@pacocoursey
With the release of initiatives, you’re able to run your entire planning and building lifecycle inside
@linear
and stay tightly connected the whole way through.
With the release of Initiatives, Linear now enables you to plan your product end-to-end within a single, purpose-built system.
⬢ Set the direction
⬢ Map out your project journey
⬢ Navigate from idea to launch

One of the best aspects of working at
@linear
is that I get to work on problems that I've been having personally for my entire career.
I used to bend over backwards on spreadsheets to get stakeholders to understand that there's a fairly broad landing zone for project completion
Some project plans are precise, but what about those that lie in the uncertain future?
With Project timeframes, you can now apply broad date ranges such as "April" or "Q2 2024" as the start and target dates of your projects.

Intake > Triage > Execution
Form strong expectations around who is responsible for each phase and how quickly they should respond.

We were so lucky to work with Kevin this early on at
@Everlane
It kind of spoiled us because when we eventually tried to hire in-house we expected designers to be at his level, and it was… hard to find.
From the archives: c. 2012-2013, Everlane
Much of it is commonplace now, but at the time what Everlane was doing in terms of building demand, using the web as a platform to launch products, visual storytelling, and price transparency were all quite unique and inventive.

Here is a behind-the-scenes process of the loop I made for the

PSA — when you’re talking to someone in a professional setting, don’t end statements with “does that make sense?”
It cheaply frames your position as de facto correct, the only question being if the other person “gets it”, and it forces out an unearned “yes” from the other party.

Former garment industry professional here. Uniqlo quality is unmatched because of massive economies of scale.
They have limited fabrics which they purchase entire annual supplies of. Materials is 70% of coats.
Their manufacturing standards are extremely high. Think Toyota.

In all seriousness it's true. there is no quality—speed tradeoff in software development. If anything they are positively correlated.
Everyone talks about the need to ship fast in startups, but how do you actually do it?

In China, it's also your primary payment method, your rail ticket, the entry point to all sorts of services (think the grand product vision for Gmail AMP but already realized).

Talk to users. Frequently. With high fidelity. Of the 30% that do user research at all, I would bet that most of it is spammy surveys with badly formed questions
"70% of businesses don't do user research... and this is basically constant over revenue buckets from $0 to $50M+."

Love it. One of the greatest productivity workflows that no one used was Google drawings + Google slides.
The tech was ancient but the workflow with seamless copy paste is amazing.
Now we get the 2024 version of it
Figma Slides is finally out! I’ve been waiting for this day for a looonng time. It’s the most challenging and fun project I’ve helped design. I couldn’t be more excited for you and your team to try it out.

I find it odd that most candidates do almost no diligence when interviewing at companies.
I encourage candidates to email me with further questions after the initial round of interviews — the median number of emails I get is 0.

Duolingo puts their money where their mouth is, at the point of greatest leverage. Many of these women will go on to have long successful careers at other companies and help change the composition of the entire industry.
Duolingo just tweeted about how we achieved a 50% female ratio of new engineering college graduate hires. We're very proud of this. I'm disappointed that the top comments were all from men angrily arguing discrimination, and that we should hire the best people instead. Idiots.

2. Use an Enterprise BI tool like Tableau to analyze and visualize.
3. Make a PowerPoint showing your findings.
4. Present to C-suite.
5. Set OKRs for 2024
6. You’ve vested. Someone else’s problem.
