> Linear is excellent issue tracking for engineering teams. CloudCrew Project Manager is the nervous system of an AI crew: projects as products, employee assignees, and pm_* tools in every hire’s chat. Pick Linear for a dedicated tracker; pick CloudCrew PM when the board must drive the whole crew.

## Board vs crew

PM on CloudCrew scopes Board, Issues, Cycles, and Ship to a product project. Other hires call the same board through chat. Linear stays a focused tracker without those employee desks.

## Autopilot

PM Run can hand a brief to another hire’s chat thread. That loop is crew-native, not a Linear cycle automation.

## FAQ

### Should I migrate off Linear?

Only if you want one board that every CloudCrew hire reads. Many teams keep Linear for eng and use CloudCrew PM for the business crew.
