§ Common questions

Switching from Linear?

Our engineers love Linear. Do we have to give it up?

Not necessarily — some mixed teams keep Linear for engineering sprints while moving to Zlyqor for cross-functional work (design, marketing, ops). Zlyqor is the glue layer everyone else uses.

Does Zlyqor have sprint planning like Linear?

Zlyqor has phase-based milestones that work like sprints. Dedicated sprint velocity tracking (Linear's killer feature) is on the roadmap.

Can I export Linear issues?

Yes — Linear exports issues as CSV per team/project from the team settings menu.

What does Zlyqor add for non-engineering teammates?

Team chat, time tracking, AI meeting summaries, social content tools, and invoicing — everything a designer, marketer, or PM needs that Linear does not provide.
