About StoryMap
A spatial view over Linear. Connect a workspace and the whole product appears on one board — journeys across, release slices down, every card a real issue.
Somewhere past a couple of hundred issues, a healthy backlog turns into an unreadable one. Lists, boards, and custom views are all excellent at answering "what is in flight right now?" — and none of them answer "what is the product?" Teams end up reconstructing the roadmap from six saved views, or maintaining a diagram that is wrong within a week because it duplicates Linear instead of reflecting it.
Our mission is to give every team running on Linear a single, living picture of the product they are building — so priorities, gaps, and releases are visible at a glance rather than reassembled by hand.
How we think about the product
Titles, statuses, estimates, and assignees live in Linear and are read live. If StoryMap vanished tomorrow, you would lose a layout — not product data.
Webhooks keep every card current. Done work collapses, the current cycle lights up, and new issues land in an inbox waiting to be placed.
Your first board is built automatically from projects, parent/child links, labels, and cycles. You begin by correcting a map, not by creating one.
No second backlog, no whiteboard, no personas or OKRs, no second tracker. Feature requests that add a second view get declined by default.
The grid comes from user story mapping: the journey runs across the top, priority runs down, and horizontal slices describe releases. It is the best-known way to lay out a product spatially, and it is where the name comes from.
What you will not find is the ceremony around it. Linear's own method tells teams to write issues rather than formal user stories, and we agree. The board works with the issues you already have, phrased however your team phrases them.
Built by Kriasoft
StoryMap is built and run by Kriasoft — a small team that would rather keep one product exceptionally polished than ship five adequate ones. We are deliberately not building a suite.
See your product on one board
Connect a Linear workspace and judge it on your own backlog. Nothing is changed in Linear, and the first board is free.
