Goal Settings in LinearB
Stay ahead of delivery issues by configuring LinearB’s Goal Settings. This powerful feature lets teams proactively monitor code review timelines, PR size, rework, and more—alerting you when something goes off track. Fully customizable and deeply integrated with Slack and Teams, Goals ensure your team never misses an opportunity to improve.
Use LinearB Goals to track PR performance and alert your team when code review and delivery practices fall below the standards you’ve set. These goals help you monitor trends over time and proactively address risk. Notifications can be sent through Slack or Microsoft Teams, and teams can view progress via the Goals dashboard.

Customizing Goal Thresholds
Click Edit next to a goal to customize it. For example, under Pull Request Size, you can use a slider to set the maximum number of code changes before triggering a notification. A real-time estimation of how often this alert will be triggered is shown below the slider.
