Migrate from Linear to SprintFlint

Linear is gorgeous. It’s also general-purpose — designed for any product team, not specifically for engineering sprints. If you’ve grown out of Linear’s cycle model and want native velocity, native burndown, native retros, and native capacity planning without bolt-on dashboards, SprintFlint is a one-step swap.

SprintFlint has a first-party Linear integration: connect your workspace, pick the team, and tickets land in SprintFlint with status, points, labels, and assignees intact.

Steps

1. 1 Sign up for SprintFlint

   Create a free account at sprintflint.com/magic-link/new. 300 free tickets, no credit card.

2. 2 Connect Linear

   From the dashboard, Settings → Integrations → Linear → Connect. SprintFlint asks Linear for read access only. The OAuth flow is one click.

3. 3 Pick a team and import

   On the empty sprint screen, click Import from Linear. Pick the Linear team you want to migrate. SprintFlint pulls the active cycle plus the open backlog.

4. 4 Map cycles to sprints

   Linear’s “cycles” map directly to SprintFlint sprints. Pick the cycle length (1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks) and SprintFlint preserves your existing rhythm.

5. 5 Verify story points and assignees

   Story points (Linear’s estimate field) carry across as story_points. Assignees match by email. Labels become tags. Spot-check 10 tickets to confirm.

6. 6 Run a parallel sprint

   We recommend running one sprint in both tools side-by-side. The team will naturally migrate to whichever interface they prefer — and SprintFlint’s velocity / burndown / retro flow usually wins by the second standup.
