<UseCaseHero title="Bulk-Plan Your Ticket Backlog" description="Multi-select tickets in Linear and get confidence-scored implementation plans for your entire backlog." prompt="Review all tickets in our current sprint backlog. For each one, analyze the codebase, provide a confidence score (green/yellow/red), and post an implementation plan as a comment on the ticket. Don't start implementation — just scope." category="Project Management" features="Integrations, Playbooks" devinUrl="https://app.devin.ai/settings/connections/linear" />

<div className="uc-detail-wrapper">
  <Tip>Don't want to set this up manually? Paste a link to this page into a Devin session and ask it to set everything up for you.</Tip>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Connect Linear">
      Go to [**Settings > Connections > Linear**](https://app.devin.ai/settings/connections/linear?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=use-case-gallery) and click **Connect**. You'll authorize Devin to access your workspace and choose which teams it can see. You can also use [Jira](/integrations/jira) instead if that's your team's ticketing system.

      Once your [Linear](/integrations/linear) integration is active, check the **Synced playbook labels** section in the Linear settings. The `!plan` [playbook](https://app.devin.ai/settings/playbooks/b0d9a34380374c3e903d900d340d8da7?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=use-case-gallery) is set as the default — it tells Devin to analyze and comment on tickets without writing code.

      <Note>For playbook labels to sync to Linear automatically, your Linear workspace must have **Manage workspace labels** set to **All members** (found under Linear's **Settings > Security**). If that's not enabled, you'll need to create the labels manually in Linear.</Note>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Select tickets and add the Devin label">
      Open your backlog in [**Linear**](https://linear.app), press **Cmd+A** to multi-select tickets (or Shift+Click for a specific range), then right-click and select **Add label > Devin**. To use a specific playbook, choose a synced label like `!plan` from the **Devin Playbooks** label group instead.

      Devin begins scoping every selected ticket in parallel. Within a few minutes, each ticket gets a detailed comment with a confidence score and implementation plan.
    </Step>

    <Step title="Read Devin's analysis on each ticket">
      Devin posts a structured comment directly on every ticket. Each comment includes a **confidence score** (🟢 🟡 🔴), the **relevant files and modules** it found in your codebase, a step-by-step **implementation plan**, and any **open questions** that need a human answer before Devin can proceed.

      | Ticket  | Title                     | Score | What Devin found                                                                                 |
      | ------- | ------------------------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
      | FE-412  | Dark mode toggle          | 🟢    | Theme context exists at `src/contexts/ThemeContext.tsx`; toggle pattern used in 3 other settings |
      | FE-419  | Date picker timezone bug  | 🟢    | Bug isolated to `formatLocalDate()` in `src/utils/dates.ts`; unit test missing                   |
      | BE-203  | Migrate prefs to Postgres | 🟡    | 14 call sites across 6 services — needs clarification on rollback strategy                       |
      | BE-210  | Rate limiting on webhooks | 🟢    | Existing rate limiter middleware at `src/middleware/rateLimiter.ts`; just needs config           |
      | INF-102 | k8s health check          | 🟢    | Readiness probe already exists at `/healthz`; liveness probe follows same pattern                |

      **What the scores mean:**

      * **🟢 Green** — Devin can handle this autonomously. Click the link in Devin's comment to kick off a session immediately.
      * **🟡 Yellow** — Devin has specific questions. Answer them in the ticket thread or in [Spaces](/product-guides/knowledge), and Devin re-evaluates — often upgrading to green.
      * **🔴 Red** — Best assigned to a human engineer, but Devin's codebase analysis gives you a head-start on scoping.

      <Tip>With the Linear integration installed, Devin natively has access to Linear's tools — so your playbook can instruct Devin to update ticket labels based on its findings. For example, Devin could add a `Green`, `Yellow`, or `Red` label to each ticket based on its confidence score. Since labels can trigger other automations, you can chain workflows — e.g., a `Green` label could kick off a second Devin session that starts implementation.</Tip>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Set up automation triggers for continuous planning">
      Instead of manually labeling tickets each time, configure an **automation trigger** so new tickets are planned the moment they hit your backlog.

      In [**Settings > Connections > Linear**](https://app.devin.ai/settings/connections/linear?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=use-case-gallery), scroll to **Automation triggers** and click **Add trigger**:

      * **Teams**: Select the teams to auto-plan (e.g., "Engineering", "Platform")
      * **Statuses**: Fire when a ticket moves to a specific status like "Triage" or "Todo"
      * **Labels**: Optionally restrict to specific labels (e.g., only `Feature` or `Improvement` tickets)
      * **Playbook**: Select `!plan` so Devin scopes and comments without writing code

      <Tip>You can duplicate the `!plan` [template playbook](https://app.devin.ai/settings/playbooks/b0d9a34380374c3e903d900d340d8da7?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=use-case-gallery) and customize it for your organization — for example, adjusting the output format, adding repo-specific instructions, or changing which details Devin includes in its comments.</Tip>

      Triggers use [edge detection](/integrations/linear) — they only fire when a ticket *transitions* into a matching state, not for tickets already in that state. Every new ticket that enters your "Todo" column now arrives pre-analyzed with a confidence score and implementation plan, ready for your team to review and prioritize.
