Make the backlog reflect what's actually breaking
Email Carly and she'll cluster your Sentry issues by root cause, match them against existing Linear tickets, and file the rest with occurrence counts, stack traces, and the right project — so the backlog stays honest.
What Carly does
- 01 List the top Sentry issues by occurrence for the week
- 02 Cluster by root cause — same stack signature, same module
- 03 Search Linear for existing issues that match each cluster
- 04 For matches, add occurrence counts as a comment
- 05 For new clusters, create a Linear issue with stack + impact
A backlog that reflects reality
Each Linear issue represents one real bug with an occurrence count. Planning prioritizes by actual impact — not by whoever filed loudest last sprint.
Email this to Carly to kick it off.
Hey Carly, Can you triage this week's Sentry errors into our Linear backlog? Pull the top Sentry issues by occurrence for the week and cluster them by root cause — same stack signature, same module counts as one bug. Then check Linear for existing issues that match each cluster. If you find a match, add a comment with the updated occurrence count. For anything new, file a Linear issue with the stack trace and impact, and route it to the right project. Ask me before creating or commenting on anything in Linear so I can sanity-check the clusters first. Thanks!
