This page is for teams that plan sprint work in Linear and need time captured against the issues in that sprint. The useful output is not a loose weekly total. You need entries that point back to the issue, project, date, duration, person, billable status, and work note, so review later does not become reconstruction from memory.
Linear issues carry the work context: project, cycle, assignee, status, labels, priority, and estimates when your team uses them. Everhour adds the time layer through embedded controls, so a developer, designer, or manager can start a timer or enter time while staying on the issue that produced the work.
Use a timer when the work starts from a specific issue and the person expects to stay focused on it. That fits debugging, implementation, review, QA, and project work where the issue is already open. The clean entry records the issue, the active date, the final duration, and a short note when the task name alone does not explain the work.
Use manual entry after meetings, support interrupts, late logging, or work performed away from the issue screen. Manual time still needs the same structure as timer time. A sprint entry such as `March 5, 2026, 1.5 hours, LIN-248, billable, reviewed payment retry edge case` is usable. `1.5 hours, sprint work` forces a manager to guess.
Sprint estimates and sprint time answer different questions. Estimates describe expected size or effort before the work is done. Time entries record clock time after work happens. Keep both values visible without treating one as a substitute for the other, especially when a sprint includes investigation, review, meetings, and rework.
A good sprint review separates planned scope from actual hours. Issue totals show where time accumulated, person totals show workload, and billable flags show which hours belong on a client invoice. This prevents a common mistake: using a sprint total that blends billable delivery, non-billable coordination, and cleanup without enough detail for billing or staffing decisions.
A one-off log works for a solo sprint recap, a quick client update, or a small internal review. It is enough when the team only needs a short-lived answer, such as total hours on three issues finished this week. The risk starts when those same entries feed invoices, payroll review, project cost analysis, or future estimates.
Everhour turns Linear issue entries into a durable record with approvals, locked periods, reporting, and cost handoff. That matters when sprint time needs review before billing, when late edits must be controlled, or when hours and project expenses need to support profitability and reimbursement workflows after the sprint closes.

Log time against the issue that produced the work, then include the date, duration, person, billable flag, and a note when the issue title does not explain the activity. Timer entries fit focused work on an open issue. Manual entries fit meetings, interruptions, and work logged after the fact.
No. Estimates describe expected effort or size, while time entries record clock time spent on completed work. Keep estimates for planning and sprint scope review. Use logged hours for billing, cost reporting, workload review, and future planning based on actual work patterns.
Add notes when the entry would be unclear during review. Good candidates include research, rework, meetings, QA, support interruptions, and split work across several issues. A note should identify the work done, not restate the issue title. Short, specific notes reduce billing disputes and cleanup questions.
The most common mistake is logging time only at the sprint or project level. That hides which issue consumed the hours and weakens later review. Issue-level entries let managers compare delivery work, review work, non-billable coordination, and unexpected rework without asking every person to reconstruct the week.
Review sprint hours before the sprint closes and again before billing, payroll review, or cost reporting. A mid-sprint check catches missing entries while the work is still fresh. A closing review confirms billable flags, notes, issue totals, and late manual entries before the record is locked or exported.
Everhour Expenses tracks project costs alongside billable hours, including receipt images or PDFs, unit-based expense categories, budget inclusion controls, and expense reports by project, client, member, category, date range, and billable status. That gives sprint work a cost record beyond logged time alone.
Everhour embeds time tracking controls in Linear through the browser extension and syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, and tag data into reports. Teams can use timers or manual entries, then review those records through timesheets, approvals, locked periods, and reporting before billing or payroll review.
Connect Linear sprint hours and project expenses in Everhour, then review receipts, billable status, budget impact, and reimbursement details before records move into billing or reporting.
