00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,798
Here's how to plan a release in Linear,

2
00:00:02,798 --> 00:00:05,520
from empty project to status update.

3
00:00:06,133 --> 00:00:08,373
Releases slip when work sits loose

4
00:00:08,373 --> 00:00:11,389
in a backlog, with no owner and no date.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,082
Start with New project. Name the release,

6
00:00:15,082 --> 00:00:17,694
assign a lead, set a target date,

7
00:00:17,694 --> 00:00:19,800
then create the project.

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,263
Now the release has one owner

9
00:00:23,263 --> 00:00:25,304
and one visible deadline.

10
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:27,806
Select the backlog issues,

11
00:00:27,806 --> 00:00:30,183
open the Actions menu, and add them

12
00:00:30,183 --> 00:00:32,439
to the project. As work starts,

13
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:34,804
move an issue to In Progress.

14
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:38,159
Finally, post a project update. Lead,

15
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,948
target date and progress appear with it,

16
00:00:40,948 --> 00:00:43,620
so everyone sees where things stand.

17
00:00:44,233 --> 00:00:47,260
Create a project, gather the issues, share

18
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:50,593
updates. That's a release plan in Linear.
