Project Management Tools

Linear vs. ClickUp

We use both Linear and ClickUp for managing our projects, with each tool serving a specific purpose:

Linear: Our primary project management application for major projects.
ClickUp: Used for managing secondary projects and internship-specific tasks.

Invitation: Upon being assigned to a project, you will receive an invitation to join the relevant platform (Linear for major projects, ClickUp for secondary projects). Follow the instructions to set up your account and access the project.
Familiarization: Take some time to familiarize yourself with the platform’s interface and features.

Ticket Assignment: You will be assigned tickets for tasks you need to complete. Ensure that you fully understand the requirements of each ticket. If you have any questions or need clarification, request a ticket grooming session.
In Progress: When you start working on a ticket, move it to the “In Progress” column. This helps the team track the status of tasks and manage workloads effectively.
Early PRs: Create an early pull request (PR) when you begin working on a ticket. This allows for early feedback and better collaboration.
On Review: After completing your work and thoroughly testing it, move the ticket to the “On Review” column. Add a comment on the ticket summarizing your work and ping the assigned reviewer on Slack to notify them that the ticket is ready for review.
Feedback: If your ticket is sent back to development with comments, address the feedback and make the necessary changes. Once done, update the ticket status and inform the reviewer.

Understanding Requirements: Always ensure you fully understand the requirements of a ticket before starting work. Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification or a grooming session.
Communication: Keep your team informed of your progress by updating ticket statuses and communicating on Slack.
Thorough Testing: Thoroughly test your work before moving it to the “On Review” column to minimize the need for revisions.
Responding to Feedback: Promptly address any feedback and make the necessary changes to ensure high-quality deliverables.
