Enabling Team-Only Mode

Enabling Team-Only Mode

Team-Only Mode in LinearB ensures that individual developer metrics are hidden from view, allowing you to focus on team-level insights. This mode can be toggled on or off from the Company Settings page.

Accessing the Setting

1. Navigate to Settings > Company Settings.
2. Locate the section labeled Individual Metrics.
3. Toggle the setting as required.
4. Click Save Settings.

Toggling Individual Metrics Visibility

You’ll see a toggle labeled:

Show individual metrics

• When enabled (toggle on): Individual developer metrics will be visible in:
  • Team Dashboards (under the Teams tab):
    • WIP (Work in Progress)
    • Reviews Submitted
    • Branches Done
    • Active Days
  • Team Activity view (inside the Teams tab):
    • Code changes
    • Repositories worked on
    • Cycle time
    • Work breakdown
    • PRs opened
    • Reviews received
    • Average review depth (comments per PR)
  • Metrics Dashboard (under the Metrics tab):
    • DORA Metrics
    • Delivery
    • Quality
    • Throughput
  • Developer Coaching (under the People tab)
  Custom-made dashboards cannot be filtered by individual contributors.
• When disabled (toggle off): Individual developer metrics will be hidden across the platform, effectively placing your workspace in Team-Only Mode.

This setting allows organizations to adjust visibility based on their culture and coaching preferences.

Impact of Hiding Individual Metrics

When "Show individual metrics" is turned off:

• The Developer Coaching tab will no longer be accessible.
• Individual metrics in the Metrics Dashboard, Team Dashboards, and Team Activity views will be replaced with team-level aggregates.
• The Individual tab in the Teams section will be hidden.
• Any historical data tied to individual contributors will be preserved but not shown.

This is particularly useful when:

• Promoting a team-first culture.
• Working in early-stage environments where individual attribution is less relevant.
• Avoiding sensitive conversations around individual performance.

Re-Enabling Individual Metrics

To return to full visibility:

1. Return to Company Settings.
2. Toggle Show individual metrics back on.
3. Click Save Settings.

Individual data views will immediately reappear across all dashboards, including Developer Coaching.
