Linear is where engineering work lives. OpsWyse is where Wyse adds the orchestration layer on top: smart standups, auto-groomed backlogs, decision logs.
Wyse posts a 9am summary to Slack pulling from Linear: what shipped overnight, what's open in review, what's blocked, what needs an engineering manager decision. Team reads in 60 seconds. Saves the 15-minute standup per day per team.
Engineering manager adds rough acceptance criteria to a Linear issue. Wyse expands it into a full ticket description, estimates story points from team's last 3 cycles, flags dependencies on other issues. EM reviews the polished backlog Thursday, sprint kicks off Monday.
Engineer opens a GitHub PR linked to a Linear issue. Wyse posts a one-paragraph PR summary into the issue's comments: what the diff does, what risk it introduces, suggested reviewers based on git blame. Reviewers get context without opening the PR.
End of cycle, Wyse drafts the retro: cycle completion rate, estimate accuracy, blockers that recurred, sentiment trend from team Slack. Engineering manager adds 2 paragraphs of strategic interpretation. Retro meeting becomes 30 minutes of discussion instead of 90 minutes of data-gathering.
Linear, Settings, API, Personal API keys. Create a new key with read+write access (the integration drafts issues and updates labels, so read-only isn't enough). Copy the key.
OpsWyse, Settings, Integrations, Linear. Paste the API key. Wysera validates and pulls your workspace structure (teams, projects, cycles). First sync of historical data takes 5 to 15 minutes.
If you have multiple Linear teams, choose which sync to OpsWyse. Most agencies and product orgs sync all teams; consultancies sometimes sync only specific client teams. Per-team agent configuration available.
OpsWyse needs to know your sprint length (1, 2, or 3 weeks), your retro cadence, and your standup channel. Defaults are sensible; customize if your team's rhythm differs.
Start with PR Summarizer (lowest friction, highest team appreciation). Add Daily Brief in week 2. Add Backlog Groomer in week 3. Add Retro Synth at end of first cycle. Don't enable all in week 1.
Linear data is fetched via Linear's GraphQL API. We use webhooks for issue updates and a polling fallback for environments where webhooks are unreliable. Issue content, PR descriptions, and team chat (if Slack is also connected) are processed inside your OpsWyse tenant and never train public models. Audit log shows every Wyse-drafted ticket and every estimate.
Start a workspace, paste the credentials, watch the first sync run. No professional services engagement required.
Not by default. Wyse drafts issue descriptions, estimates, and summaries. Code writing is a separate category of tool (Cursor, Copilot, Devin). The Linear integration handles the layer above code: tickets, planning, retros.
Yes. Label an issue 'no-wyse' and Wyse leaves it alone. Useful for sensitive security work, paid customer escalations, or anything you don't want summarized publicly. Audit log notes that Wyse skipped the issue.
Both. Cycles are the sprint container; Projects are the longer-term initiative container. OpsWyse syncs both. Sprint retros run on Cycles; project health reviews run on Projects.
We have a GitHub Issues integration in beta. The patterns are similar. If you're early in choosing a tracker, Linear is more agent-friendly because of the GraphQL API and the more structured data model. Linear users see roughly 30 percent more agent-driven productivity than GitHub Issues users in our deployments.
It can. Most engineering teams that adopt the daily brief drop the synchronous standup within 2-3 weeks. Some teams keep a once-weekly synchronous deep-dive instead. Both patterns work; the team picks.
