Creating a Survey in LinearB

Launching a developer survey in LinearB takes just a few steps. Surveys consist of standardized question sets grouped by topic, allowing you to assess multiple dimensions of team experience.

Survey Setup Flow

To begin a new survey:

1. Navigate to the Surveys page via Productivity > Surveys.
2. Click Management if not already selected.
3. Click the Create new button (top right).

You’ll enter a guided wizard with the following steps:

Step 1: Name

Assign a meaningful name to your survey. This name appears in the Dashboard and is visible to participants, so choose a title that reflects its purpose clearly.

Step 2: Topics

Choose one or more topics from the predefined list. Each topic includes:

• A standardized set of 5–8 Likert-scale (1–5) statements
• Optional comment fields for deeper context

Available topics include:

• Developer Experience
• Satisfaction and Well-Being
• Productivity and Workflow
• Tools and Platforms
• AI-Assisted Development
• Collaboration and Team Culture
• Code Quality and Maintainability
• Developer Empowerment and Growth

Once topics are selected, click Continue.

Step 3: Launch

The final step is a summary page showing the survey name and selected topics. Click Launch Survey to activate it. Surveys remain open until you manually end them from the Management tab. Once closed, no additional responses can be collected.
