Linear prioritization tool
A better way to prioritize your Linear backlog
Looking for the best prioritization tool for Linear? CoJii helps product and engineering teams turn competing opinions into a transparent, ranked backlog — without replacing Linear.
Why Linear teams need more than a Priority field
Linear is excellent at tracking issues, planning cycles, and showing what is already considered important. Its native Priority field is fast and useful for day-to-day triage.
But when a team has to decide what should come next, a single dropdown is not enough. The decision often depends on customer value, strategic alignment, delivery effort, readiness, and how confident the team is in its assumptions.
CoJii adds a collaborative prioritization layer to Linear. Your team scores the issues together, compares the reasoning behind each score, and syncs the agreed result back to the Linear workflow you already use.
What makes CoJii a prioritization tool for Linear?
- Import your real backlog — pull issues directly from your Linear workspace instead of copying them into a spreadsheet.
- Score the factors that matter — use Impact, Customer Signal, Strategic Alignment, Readiness, Effort, and Confidence, with configurable weights.
- Include the whole decision-making team — invite engineers, designers, sales, customer success, leadership, or customers through shareable scoring links.
- See disagreement instead of hiding it — compare perspectives and find the issues that need a conversation before they become roadmap commitments.
- Rank issues automatically — turn weighted scores into a clear starting point for backlog review and roadmap planning.
- Sync decisions back to Linear — publish the final priority order to Linear with one click, while Linear stays your system of record.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best prioritization tool for Linear?
The best tool depends on your team's workflow. CoJii is built for teams that want to prioritize Linear issues collaboratively using structured scoring, stakeholder input, and a transparent ranked backlog, then sync the agreed priorities back to Linear.
Does Linear have a prioritization tool?
Linear has a native Priority field with Urgent, High, Medium, Low, and No Priority. It stores and organizes the decision, but it does not calculate priority or collect structured input from a wider group. CoJii adds that collaborative decision-making layer while keeping Linear as the system of record.
How does CoJii prioritize Linear issues?
CoJii imports issues from Linear and lets your team score them across configurable dimensions such as Impact, Customer Signal, Strategic Alignment, Readiness, Effort, and Confidence. Weighted scores produce a ranked list, disagreements become visible, and the final priorities can be synced back to Linear.
Can stakeholders prioritize Linear issues without a Linear account?
Yes. CoJii supports shareable scoring links and campaigns, so product, engineering, sales, customer success, leadership, and other stakeholders can provide structured input without needing a Linear seat.
Is CoJii an alternative to Linear?
No. CoJii complements Linear rather than replacing it. Linear remains the place where your team tracks and delivers work; CoJii helps the team make a more transparent decision about what should come next.
