PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Linear sprint spillover early-warning to Slack
Each weekday it reads the active Linear cycle, projects whether open scope will finish by the cycle end date based on the team's recent throughput.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
It computes a daily burn-down for the active Linear cycle and compares the remaining open points against the team's recent completion rate. When the projection shows scope won't land by the cycle end, it raises a spillover warning in Slack with the at-risk issues named.
When to use it
Use it when your team works in fixed Linear cycles and you keep discovering slippage only at the review. This surfaces the drift mid-cycle, while there's still time to cut scope or pull in help, instead of after the deadline passes.
How it works
- 1A weekday morning schedule fires the run.
- 2It pulls the active cycle, its end date, and all issues with their estimates and states from Linear.
- 3It calculates remaining open points and the average points completed per working day over the trailing two weeks.
- 4A projection step checks whether remaining points divided by daily throughput exceeds the working days left.
- 5If on track, it exits quietly; if at risk, it ranks the largest unstarted issues as spillover candidates.
- 6It posts a Slack message with the projected overage, days remaining, and the named at-risk issues.
