How Cycle and Linear work across teams

The Three Pillars of Product Development

Every great product is built by three teams:

• Customer-facing teams (Sales, Support, Success) — the ears and mouth of the company
• Product teams (PMs, Product Ops) — the brains behind the roadmap
• Engineering teams (Developers) — the hands that bring ideas to life

Each plays a crucial role. But without connection and collaboration, alignment breaks, context gets lost, and great ideas die on the vine.

That’s where Cycle comes in.

Cycle: The Hub That Connects Everything

Cycle isn’t trying to replace Linear. Or Gong, Intercom, or Slack.

It’s designed to connect them.

Cycle sits at the center of your product development stack, integrating tightly with tools where each team already thrives.

• Customer-facing teams log insights in Slack, Gong, Intercom
• Cycle captures, processes, and clusters feedback automatically
• Product teams analyze, prioritize, and roadmap within Cycle
• Engineering teams ship with Linear

And Cycle keeps the thread alive across all of it.

From Feedback to Insight: Cycle + Customer Tools

Your customer-facing teams are hearing gold every day.

Feature requests. Pain points. Objections.

But if that signal isn’t captured and routed, it disappears.

With Cycle, feedback flows directly from:

• Gong call recordings
• Slack channels and threads
• Intercom conversations

And instead of dumping raw text, Cycle does the heavy lifting:

• Extracts key quotes
• Clusters related feedback
• Tags patterns and themes

Then, it goes a step further—turning insight into intelligence.

With customizable BI dashboards, your team can slice and analyze feedback however they need: by segment, ARR, use case, or trend.

Your product team doesn’t get noise.

It gets signal. With context.

From Strategy to Shipping: Cycle + Linear

Once ideas are shaped, it’s time to ship.

Engineering teams think in issues, cycles, and sub-tasks. That’s Linear’s domain.

A single feature request? That might become:

• A design update
• An API refactor
• QA automation

Cycle integrates directly with Linear:

• Feature ideas in Cycle link to issues in Linear
• Status sync keeps PMs and devs aligned
• Backlinks provide context from the original customer quote

So everyone knows what’s being built. And why.

Closing the Loop: From Shipping Back to Customers

Here’s the part most teams miss:

Shipping isn’t the end. It’s the midpoint.

With Cycle, when a feature goes live:

• PMs can publish a release note tied to the original feedback
• Cycle notifies the exact CSM or sales rep who surfaced it
• That teammate can follow up with the customer

Loop closed. Trust built. Feedback cycle complete.

And just like that, you go from:

Feedback → Insight → Strategy → Execution → Trust
