User story mapping for Linear
Your Linear issues
become a user story map.
An issue list tells you what is open, but not what to build next or where each task sits on the user's path. Fervio lays out the same issues as a story map. Move a card, and the issue itself changes in Linear.
Fervio is invite-only: only invited Linear accounts can sign in. The demo needs no sign-in.
Lay the issues out, plan the releases, send the link.
Build the story map
Arrange your issues into journeys and steps, and see the whole product on one screen.
Plan by release
Slice the map into releases, tracked as labels managed by Fervio in Linear. Export to Markdown or CSV anytime.
Drag a card, change the issue
Move a card and the issue in Linear changes with it. Nothing to update twice.
Share without a sign-in
A share link opens without an account of any kind. It never grants edit access.
Timeline view
Connect dependencies directly on the timeline. Available for Linear teams that use Cycles. Dragging a bar does not change its dates.
AI suggestions via MCP
Connect tools like Claude via MCP. AI only reads your map and suggests changes; a proposal changes nothing in Linear until you approve it.
How Fervio maps to Linear
Create a board by picking a Linear team. Journeys map to initiatives, steps to projects, releases to labels managed by Fervio, and sprints to cycles.
From sign-in to your first board, in three steps.
Sign in
Use the Linear account with the email you were invited with. No setup required.
Pick a team
Pick a Linear team to load its issues. Nothing changes in Linear until you drag a card.
Map your journey
Organize cards across journeys and steps. Changes write back to Linear projects, cycles, and labels managed by Fervio, while Fervio retains only the order of journeys, steps, releases, and cards for the map.
Your issues stay in Linear.
- Fervio reads Linear every time you open a map. Issue content is kept only in a share snapshot you publish, and card titles for up to 14 days in an AI proposal awaiting your review
- Access tokens never reach the browser
- Fervio stores board settings and layout, the member list, and your sign-in and contact details, including the email you were invited with
- Creating a share link stores a snapshot of the map at that moment, and nothing else
- No analytics scripts, no ad pixels, no passive trackers
Invitation only
Fervio is available by invitation only and is not for sale. Invited Linear accounts get every feature, with no limit on boards or editors, at no charge. To ask for an invitation, write to [email protected]. The demo is open to everyone.
Questions
- How can I start using Fervio?
- Fervio is invite-only. Write to [email protected]. Once invited, sign in with the Linear account that uses the invited email.
- Do the people I share with need an account?
- No. Share links are view-only and open without any sign-in, so you can send a map to anyone.
- How long do share links last?
- Ninety days from the moment you create one. After that, create a new one.
- What can Fervio read?
- Only the Linear teams you choose when creating a board, limited to your Linear account's permissions.
- Will AI ever change my issues on its own?
- No. AI only reads your map and suggests changes. Proposals are visible only to you and change nothing until you apply them. Changes are written with your own Linear account, and only if you have write access. Proposals disappear after 14 days.
- What happens to my issues if I stop using Fervio?
- Nothing. Fervio writes plain issues, projects, cycles, and labels. All of it stays valid Linear data that you can keep using without us.
