[Try Rig](https://app.rig.so/signup)[Book a demo](https://rig.so/book-demo) ## What Rig syncs from Linear Once connected, Rig models these objects so questions resolve to the right tables and joins: - Issues - Issue history - Cycles - Projects - Teams - Labels - States - Comments - Estimates ## How Linear connects to Rig Rig Ingest syncs your Linear issues, cycles and issue history into your warehouse on a schedule, tracking every state change. Rig then models cycles and estimates so velocity and cycle time questions resolve correctly. ## Measure issue cycle time and throughput Issue cycle time is the elapsed time from when an issue starts to when it is completed. Rig reads Linear issue history and state changes, so you can see median cycle time, how many issues complete per cycle, and where work sits in progress longest. Ask Rig - What was median issue cycle time last cycle? - How many issues did each team complete per cycle this quarter? - Which issues have been in progress for more than a week? ## Track cycle velocity and estimate accuracy Rig joins Linear estimates to completed issues across cycles, so you can see how many points a team actually ships and whether estimates hold up. That makes planning conversations grounded rather than aspirational. Ask Rig - What is each team's average velocity over the last six cycles? - How accurate are our estimates against actual cycle time? - Which cycles missed their committed scope? ## Monitor backlog health and aging issues By reading Linear states, labels and timestamps, Rig surfaces how the backlog is growing, which issues are stale, and how triage keeps up with incoming work. Product leads use it to keep the backlog honest. Ask Rig - How many issues are in the backlog by team and label? - Which open issues have not been updated in 30 days? - Is the backlog growing or shrinking month over month? ## Analyse bug trends and label breakdowns Rig groups Linear issues by label and state over time, so you can track bug inflow versus resolution and see which areas generate the most defects. That helps prioritise quality work against feature work. Ask Rig - How many bugs were opened versus closed last month? - Which projects carry the most open bugs? - Show issue volume by label over the last quarter ## Ask your Linear data in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor Rig serves your Linear data to AI assistants over MCP. Once Linear is synced into your warehouse, you can ask questions in plain English from the tool you already use, and every answer is backed by validated, governed SQL. - [Claude](https://rig.so/integrations/claude) - [Claude Code](https://rig.so/integrations/claude-code) - [Cursor](https://rig.so/integrations/cursor) - [ChatGPT](https://rig.so/integrations/chatgpt) - [Codex](https://rig.so/integrations/codex) - [Gemini](https://rig.so/integrations/gemini) ## Frequently asked questions What Linear data does Rig sync? Issues, issue history, Cycles, Projects, Teams, Labels, States, Comments and Estimates, including every state change over time. Can Rig measure cycle velocity from Linear? Yes. Rig models cycles, estimates and issue history, so velocity, cycle time and estimate accuracy questions are answered in plain English. Can I query Linear data in Claude or ChatGPT? Yes. Once Linear is synced to your warehouse, Rig serves it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI tools over MCP. How often does Linear data refresh? Rig Ingest syncs on a schedule you set and tracks issue state changes so new activity appears automatically. ## Related integrations [![Asana logo](https://img.logo.dev/asana.com?token=pk_AdkTbLWDS1iunmvTK2qm1g&size=72&format=png&retina=true)AsanaTask throughput, cycle time and project health analytics from your Asana workspace.](https://rig.so/integrations/asana)[![GitHub logo](https://img.logo.dev/github.com?token=pk_AdkTbLWDS1iunmvTK2qm1g&size=72&format=png&retina=true)GitHubCycle time, review load and contributor analytics from your GitHub repos.](https://rig.so/integrations/github)[![Jira logo](https://img.logo.dev/atlassian.com?token=pk_AdkTbLWDS1iunmvTK2qm1g&size=72&format=png&retina=true)JiraSprint velocity, cycle time and backlog analytics from your Jira projects.](https://rig.so/integrations/jira)[![monday.com logo](https://img.logo.dev/monday.com?token=pk_AdkTbLWDS1iunmvTK2qm1g&size=72&format=png&retina=true)monday.comItem throughput, status flow and board health analytics from your monday.com boards.](https://rig.so/integrations/monday)[![Notion logo](https://img.logo.dev/notion.so?token=pk_AdkTbLWDS1iunmvTK2qm1g&size=72&format=png&retina=true)NotionTurn your Notion databases into queryable operational data for roadmaps, content and tasks.](https://rig.so/integrations/notion)[![Sentry logo](https://img.logo.dev/sentry.io?token=pk_AdkTbLWDS1iunmvTK2qm1g&size=72&format=png&retina=true)SentryError frequency, release health and incident trend analytics from your Sentry data.](https://rig.so/integrations/sentry) ## Connect Linear data to AI tools like Claude Rig builds a governed context layer over your data so every team, and every AI tool, asks questions and gets answers they can trust.
