Practical ways to use Microsoft Outlook and Linear together

Engineering Manager

Sprint planning with realistic capacity

You need to plan your team's next sprint, but past commitments were based on optimistic availability assumptions rather than actual calendar reality.

See actual available time slots between meetings and plan sprint work that respects both Linear estimates and Outlook commitments.

Software Engineer

Protecting deep work from meeting interruptions

Your Outlook calendar fills up with meeting invites because colleagues see open time slots and assume you're available for "quick syncs."

Drag Linear issues onto your calendar to create visible busy blocks that protect your committed engineering work from drive-by meetings.

Product Manager

Coordinating technical priorities with stakeholder meetings

You work in Linear with the engineering team but live in Outlook for stakeholder coordination, creating constant context switching between planning and execution.

Maintain unified visibility of technical commitments alongside business meetings, so spec writing time is protected just like customer calls.

Tech Lead

Maintaining maker time while handling management duties

You need focused blocks for code review and architecture work, but your role requires being available for team coordination and cross-functional meetings.

Time-block your technical work in Linear and let it sync to Outlook, so your team and stakeholders can schedule around your maker commitments.
