Swimlanes for board visualization and grouping

Swimlanes enable you to group cards into rows on board views by different dimensions like teams, projects, and assignees, making it easier to visualize work distribution and resource allocation. Cards can be reorganized with drag-and-drop, and new keyboard shortcuts improve navigation efficiency.

Swimlanes Swimlanes bring a powerful new way to visualize your projects and issues on the board view. This highly requested feature allows you to group cards into rows based on different dimensions and instantly see how work is distributed across teams, projects, assignees, and other properties. Use swimlanes to: View a high-level overview of the roadmap by quarter or team Use simple drag-and-drop to reorganize, reassign, or update issues Understand resource allocation across members of your team Review work per project or assignee during a stand-up To create swimlanes, open the display options from any issue or project board view and select grouping by Rows. Protip: You can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate and update cards on board views without using your mouse. The following shortcuts are especially helpful when using swimlanes: Move to the left ⌥ ← or right ⌥ → column Move to the top ⌥ Shift ↑ or bottom ⌥ Shift ↓ of the group Move up ↑ K, down ↓ J, right →, and left ← Collapse/expand row T See all shortcuts by opening searching for board in the keyboard shortcuts list. New UI Last week we revealed a refreshed design for Linear’s interface.

You can read about the changes and the design process in-depth in our two-part series: A design reset (part I) How we redesigned the Linear UI (part II)
