GitHub activity is moving faster than the customer’s Linear delivery view.
Engineering wants low-friction pull request habits while product needs trustworthy cycle updates.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My VP asked why three shipped pull requests were missing from the project update again.”

What is at stake
Only 38% of merged pull requests are linked to active issues, so the customer's project updates can't be trusted. You have to weigh cleaner reporting against a workflow engineers will actually keep using.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- reporting confidence vs engineer friction
- fast remediation vs durable behavior change
- shared conventions vs squad autonomy
Why Linear
Linear’s GitHub integration is central to turning engineering activity into a shared delivery record.
