Use this interactive demo to learn how to enable and configure Cycles for your Linear team.

Quick summary

Linear's Cycles feature lets teams run structured, time-boxed sprints directly within their workspace. This guide walks through how to enable Cycles in Team Settings and configure cycle length to start tracking iterative progress.


Steps

  1. Select a team you want to enable the Cycle feature for.
  2. Click 'Team Settings' to open the team configuration panel.
  3. Navigate to the 'Workflow' section within Team Settings.
  4. Click 'Cycles' to access the Cycles configuration options.
  5. Toggle 'Enable Cycles' to activate the feature for your team.
  6. Configure the cycle length to match your team's sprint cadence.
  7. A confirmation notification appears once the Cycle feature has been successfully enabled.

📌 Why this matters

Linear's Cycles feature brings structured sprint planning directly into your project management workflow, helping engineering teams ship faster with time-boxed iterations. By enabling Cycles at the team level, managers can set consistent cycle lengths, track active work, and review completed sprints — all without leaving Linear. This makes Linear a powerful alternative to dedicated sprint tools, keeping issue tracking and iteration planning in a single unified workspace. Teams that adopt Cycles gain clearer visibility into velocity, scope, and progress across every release.
