Use this page to prepare a roadmap time report for a project, release, or stakeholder update tied to Linear issues. The practical output is a short, defensible view of where time went, which work consumed it, and which costs belong in the conversation. Start with the reporting question: delivery progress, client billing, team allocation, or budget pressure.
A roadmap report needs enough detail to answer follow-up questions without burying the reader. Use Linear projects and issues for work context, then attach tracked hours, billable status, cost, owner, tag, and date range. Keep the exported view narrow when the audience needs a status update, and keep the working view deeper when managers need to correct entries before sharing.
The core rows should describe the work item and the time record in the same place. Include project, issue title or ID, assignee or member, tag, date range, tracked time, billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, labor cost, and comments when the notes explain an unusual entry. A roadmap view also benefits from a status column because it separates completed work from work still in motion.
Keep estimates on Linear issues separate from tracked hours. Estimates describe planned effort or size, while tracked hours record time actually spent. A report that merges those fields turns a scope signal into a payroll or cost signal. For cost review, show the rate basis beside the amount when stakeholders need to understand why one issue carries a higher internal cost than another.
Weekly reports should catch drift early: issues taking longer than expected, tags absorbing too much team time, and non-billable work crowding out billable delivery. Use the same weekly date range every time so totals reflect work changes instead of a shifted reporting window. For teams working in cycle windows, align the date range to that review period.
Monthly reports should support accountability and planning. Group by project for roadmap ownership, by issue for delivery detail, by member for capacity review, and by tag for the categories your team already uses. Export a summary for stakeholders who need the decision record, and keep the detailed version available for managers who need to audit entries.
A one-off report is enough for a single stakeholder update, a client question, or a quick month-end check. It works when the entries are already clean, the date range is narrow, and one person owns the export. The risk starts when someone rebuilds the same spreadsheet every week from changing time records.
A managed workflow fits recurring roadmap reporting. Everhour lets teams track time inside Linear through embedded controls, route submitted time through approval, and report on billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost from the same reporting layer. That gives finance, delivery leads, and stakeholders a standing view over approved time instead of a manually rebuilt spreadsheet.

Organize the report around the question the reader needs answered. Use project for roadmap ownership, issue for delivery detail, member for workload review, tag for work categories, and date range for the review window. Add billable and non-billable columns when the report supports client billing, budget review, or cost accountability.
Credible cost reporting needs tracked time, rate basis, billable status, labor cost, billable amount, member, issue, project, and date range. Keep comments for exceptions such as rework, handoffs, or entries added after the period closed. A stakeholder should be able to trace each total back to the work item that produced it.
Place estimates on Linear issues beside tracked hours only as context. Keep them in separate columns because estimates represent planned effort or size, and tracked hours represent time actually spent. A report that replaces hours with estimates gives a scope view, not a time or cost view.
Show billable and non-billable work in the same report when the decision involves profitability, utilization, or client communication. Separate columns prevent non-billable work from disappearing inside total hours. A roadmap can look healthy on delivery progress while internal cost rises because review, research, or rework stays outside the invoice.
Use a weekly view for active delivery control and a monthly view for budget or stakeholder review. Weekly reporting exposes late entries and shifting work categories quickly. Monthly reporting gives a stable period for trend comparison, cost review, and exportable summaries. Use the same start and end rules every period.
Everhour lets admins set billing status at the project level, mark specific tasks non-billable, set custom task rates, and handle member-rate exceptions. Admin reports can then show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost for Linear project work in one review.
Everhour reporting supports saved reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and downloads in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Teams can also send one-time or recurring email reports, so stakeholders receive the same roadmap time and cost view without living in the work tool.
Track Linear roadmap work with billable and non-billable context, review approved time, and share cost reports that keep delivery leads and finance aligned in Everhour.
