Issues overview

Understand the issue sources available in Fluidwork.

Outcome

Choose the right issue source for a plan.

Applies to

Workspace members creating or maintaining the planning backlog.

Before you start

Fluidwork can work with synced Linear issues, imported CSV rows, and local planning issues.

Steps

  1. Use Linear issues when Linear is the team's source of truth.
  2. Use CSV import when the work already exists in a spreadsheet or external planning document.
  3. Use local issues for early planning items that are not ready to live in Linear.
  4. Keep issue titles, statuses, owners, and dates accurate before scheduling them.

What happens next

After issues are available, place them on a timeline and update the plan as dates, ownership, and dependencies change.
