Use this interactive demo to learn how to create, organize, and filter task lists in Linear.

Quick summary

Linear's task list feature lets teams create issues, assign them with labels and priorities, and organize work using Board or List views with powerful filters. This step-by-step walkthrough shows how to manage a full issue lifecycle inside a Linear project from creation to collaboration.


Steps

  1. Navigate to a project in Linear.
  2. Click the add icon to create a new issue within the project.
  3. Give your task a descriptive title.
  4. Add details like labels for categorization, priority level, due date, and assign the task to a team member.
  5. Click 'Create issue' to save and submit the task.
  6. Click the 'Display' option to organize your views.
  7. Switch between 'Board' or 'List' views to visually organize tasks based on your preference.
  8. Click 'Filter' to open the filtering panel.
  9. Filter tasks by assignee, priority, label, or due date to focus on specific work.
  10. Leave comments on tasks to discuss progress or ask questions.

📌 Why this matters

Linear's task list feature gives engineering and product teams a structured way to create, assign, and track issues without the noise of traditional project management tools. By combining flexible views like Board and List with granular filters for assignee, priority, and due date, Linear helps teams stay focused on the work that matters most. The ability to add labels, set priorities, and leave inline comments means every task carries full context from creation to completion. For fast-moving teams, this level of organization directly reduces coordination overhead and accelerates delivery.
