00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.798
Here's how to plan a release in Linear,

00:00:02.798 --> 00:00:05.520
from empty project to status update.

00:00:06.133 --> 00:00:08.373
Releases slip when work sits loose

00:00:08.373 --> 00:00:11.389
in a backlog, with no owner and no date.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.082
Start with New project. Name the release,

00:00:15.082 --> 00:00:17.694
assign a lead, set a target date,

00:00:17.694 --> 00:00:19.800
then create the project.

00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:23.263
Now the release has one owner

00:00:23.263 --> 00:00:25.304
and one visible deadline.

00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:27.806
Select the backlog issues,

00:00:27.806 --> 00:00:30.183
open the Actions menu, and add them

00:00:30.183 --> 00:00:32.439
to the project. As work starts,

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.804
move an issue to In Progress.

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:38.159
Finally, post a project update. Lead,

00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.948
target date and progress appear with it,

00:00:40.948 --> 00:00:43.620
so everyone sees where things stand.

00:00:44.233 --> 00:00:47.260
Create a project, gather the issues, share

00:00:47.260 --> 00:00:50.593
updates. That's a release plan in Linear.
