WorkerB Team Notifications

LinearB can notify you about potential development issues such as: work at risk, work merged without review, work merged with only basic reviews, a hanging review request, a long review, and even send you a daily digest of these issues.

Team Goal Notifications

Pull Request Size

Reducing the size of your pull requests ensures quicker and more efficient code reviews, and increases the likelihood of safe and/or easier-to-restore deployments.

Heads up alerts will notify your team when a PR has been opened (or made live from draft status) with more code changes than agreed upon.

Notifications will alert your team when a PR is merged with more code changes than agreed upon.

Report over these metrics in your Team Goals dashboard to see what percent of pull requests are merged which met your goal.

Pull Request Pickup Time

Pick up reviews quickly in order to keep your code moving towards deployment swiftly and to allow reviewers and coders to address any needed changes before they are preoccupied with new assignments.

Heads up alerts will notify your team when an open PR has been waiting for review longer than your goal pickup deadline.

Notifications will alert your team when a PR has been merged after being unreviewed for longer than your goal pickup time.

Report over these metrics in your Team Goals dashboard to see what percent of pull requests are being picked up in your goal time frame.

Pull Request Review Time

Thorough code reviews can take time, however, if a review is taking too long it may need a second set of eyes, or a quick reminder to the team not to let it fall through the cracks.

Heads up alerts will notify your team when a PR has been in review for longer than your agreed time frame.

Notifications will alert your team when a PR has been merged after being in review longer than desired.

Pull Requests Merged without Review

High Risk Work

Edit the number of code changes and the percentage of rework that triggers this alert.
