Continuous planning in Linear

Continuous planning is a workflow methodology that organizes product ideas into candidate projects as they arrive, rather than scrambling through scattered notes during quarterly planning sessions. Ideas from customers and internal sources are funneled into a triage queue, grouped into patterns, and developed into candidate projects throughout the quarter. During planning cycles, teams prioritize these pre-vetted projects based on customer requests, revenue impact, and strategic goals. Projects then serve as the universal vocabulary across discovery, planning, and execution phases, eliminating the need for translation between different work stages and reducing planning whiplash.
