Overview
Pensero connects to your Linear workspace to access the tasks and workflows where engineering work is tracked. You can share boards or projects such as sprints and feature development.
Pensero analyzes only work-related information, ensuring full privacy for all other content.
The data collected from Linear issues helps Pensero understand the types of tasks being performed and the level of complexity associated with each contributor’s work.
