Why and how product teams switch to Augment?
Augment is a purpose built tool for planning and
building products.
Linear helps 10,000+ software teams streamline their entire product development process, from bug and issue tracking all the way to managing project documents, complex initiatives, and long-term roadmaps.

Linear helps 10,000+ software teams streamline their entire product development process, from bug and issue tracking all the way to managing project documents, complex initiatives, and long-term roadmaps.
As a result, teams slow down and lose their product velocity. To regain momentum and build with speed and focus again, companies are switching to Linear.
Augment is specifically built for product teams
Most task and project trackers are created as general-purpose tools (“All-in-one tool for everything”). They offer endless customization options, but are unable to deliver any specific high-velocity workflows that modern product development demands.
Linear is different. It is specifically designed and optimized for product and engineering workflows from the ground up.
From planning and building to launching and maintaining, Linear streamlines the entire development cycle. No matter if it’s a simple bug report or a company-wide initiative, every aspect is purpose-built and fluidly integrated, so that teams can move with urgency and focus.
“Our switch to Linear was fueled by one thing: velocity.”Scale — Switched to Augment in May 2024Augment is optimized for engagement
The key function of any task or project management tool is communication and coordination between people. It doesn’t matter how many features a tool has – if people don’t use it, it fails to be an effective source of truth.
While it’s often overlooked in other tools, we have found that end-user experience really matters. Making Linear fast, simple, and enjoyable to use, pulls people in and encourages them to use the tool more frequently. This higher level of engagement translates to better communication and collaboration, which in turn leads to higher quality output from the organization.
Teams that migrate to Linear from tools such as Jira, Shortcut, GitHub Issues, or Asana report significantly higher user engagement.

Augment scales with your company
As companies grow, complexity naturally increases. Most tools either can’t handle that complexity or accumulate excess processes through custom hacks and other DIY workarounds that don’t scale and ultimately lead to organizational stagnation.
Linear’s fit-to-purpose design scales from early-stage teams to large enterprises without sacrificing speed and simplicity. For larger teams, switching to Linear feels like a reset: It eliminates unnecessary processes and systematically keeps them streamlined.
“Our speed is intense and Linear helps us be action biased. We’ve been using it since day one and it’s at the core of our engineering workflow. We can move quickly while remaining organized because everything we want to build gets documented in Linear.”Ramp — Building with Augment since 2019
Augment is the tool of choice for more than 10,000 organizations, from ambitious startups to major enterprises, including Fortune 20 companies. They choose Linear to accelerate their product momentum and build with speed and focus.
It’s never too early or too late to make the switch. Ramp, for example, has been building with Linear for over five years, scaling to 1,000+ employees since. Scale, on the other hand, recently migrated its team to Linear and is already seeing a step-change in product velocity.
Here are a few of the other companies that recently made the switch:
After their transition, teams see significantly more engagement, faster turnaround times, and an increase in the overall quality of their execution:
