Track Linear cycle with a burndown chart
To create a burndown chart, navigate to the Charts tab and click 'Add new chart'. Search for "Burndown" to find the burndown template. Open the template and click Configure:

In the chart settings, you can pick Current cycle, Last completed cycle, or any of your past cycles from the menu:

Complete the process by clicking Update chart. You'll see the burndown of the selected cycle:

The burndown chart shows how much was planned for the cycle and how much has been completed so far. With the burndown chart, you can quickly see whether you are on time or behind in the cycle.

Group and filter by cycle
You can filter the charts by Cycle (assigned to) a sprint. That will include all items that were assigned to the selected cycles (completed and uncompleted):

Once a cycle ends, all or a subset of the issues are completed during the cycle. You can filter the chart by Cycle (Completed in) to see which tasks were completed during the cycle.

You can group and filter charts with either Cycle (assigned to) or Cycle (Completed in), depending on whether you are interested in tracking assignments or completions by Linear cycle.

Cumulative flow of a cycle
The Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) shows the amount of work in different stages of your workflow during one or more cycles. This chart helps you to see trends and spot bottlenecks in your workflow.
Each coloured area of the chart represents the number of issues (or story points) in a specific workflow state on a given day during the cycle. The horizontal axis indicates time, and the vertical axis shows the number of tasks. You can identify bottlenecks by looking at the widening areas in the chart. Are tasks piling up in a specific workflow state or assignee?

Use the Cumulative flow chart for spotting bottlenecks during the cycle. An upward trend indicates progress towards the goal, and a flat trend indicates stalled progress.

Track cycles across multiple Linear teams
With Screenful, you can get reports of the current cycle or any of your previous cycles. You can aggregate cycle data across multiple teams into one chart. Here's an example chart showing the number of story points completed by cycle:

You can get this chart by going to the Charts tab and searching Estimates by cycle from templates.
All charts can be filtered by any of your cycles. There are also special filters for the Current cycle, and the Last completed cycle, that help you to set the filter once and let it work for you for all your future cycles!

When your active cycle changes, the filter will automatically adjust to display the correct cycle.
