This year the team at Linear jumped on a journey to go from an issue manager to a full project manager tool in a full revamp of their UI and an expansion of their features.Adrian and his team are now specifically targeting managers and leaders, necessitating adjustments and the development of new features. But as any re-working of features, they have encountered several challenges in this process of enhancing collaboration and making their features work for everyone. Adrien (their Founding Product Designer) will share with us how the redesign came to be, and how those challenges were tackled.
Adrien is a french designer, who after working in some design studios moved to the US to work for Microsoft. While in the US, he met Karri Saarinen (CEO of Linear) who invited him to join the adventure of creating a better experience for working with GitHub issues. Since then, the company has taken off and its admired by designers everywhere. Adrien has publicly speaking of how Linear doesn't do things the "standard" way for everything, and they've got their very own processes.
