You came here to turn work in Linear into a dashboard that explains where time went, who spent it, and what it cost. The useful result is a standing view, not a loose table of hours. Linear issues supply the project, cycle, assignee, status, labels, priority, and estimate context. Time and rates supply the labor side of the report.
A dashboard should answer one question per breakdown. Project totals show spending by initiative. Issue rows show the work behind the number. Member views show ownership and load. Cycle and date-range views show the period under review. Billable and non-billable columns keep client-facing work and internal work visible in the same review.
Dashboard grain controls the decisions people can make from the report. A project view suits budget review because it rolls time, cost, and billable amount into one initiative. An issue view suits delivery review because it shows where hours accumulated. A member view suits staffing review because it shows who worked on which Linear projects and issues.
Cycle and date-range filters serve different jobs. A cycle view explains delivery inside a time-boxed work period. A weekly date range catches missing time before the records age. A monthly view fits finance, invoicing, and stakeholder reporting. Mixing those grains without labels creates confusion because a cycle and a calendar month rarely describe the same work window.
A dashboard that includes money needs rate fields as well as hour fields. Cost rates show internal labor expense. Billable rates show client-facing revenue. Those values should stay separate because one person can cost the business one amount and bill to a client at another amount. Project, member, and task rate choices change the final view.
Effort-point or size estimates on Linear issues add planning context; they are not clock time. Estimate scales can use Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt values. A defensible dashboard labels estimates separately from logged time, then compares planned effort with actual hours after the work is complete.
A one-off export is enough for a quick status update, a client question, or a retrospective on one cycle. It works when the reviewer needs a snapshot and the data set is small. The limits appear when someone rebuilds the same spreadsheet every Friday, copies rates by hand, or explains why a number changed after approval.
A managed workflow keeps the dashboard tied to approved time, dated rates, billable status, and exports. Everhour can sit on top of Linear work through embedded controls, then send tracked time into reports with cost and billable rate logic. That gives finance, delivery, and stakeholders a repeatable view instead of a recreated file.

A project view works best for project-level review because it groups time and cost by initiative. Add issue rows when the lead needs the work behind a total. Add member grouping when staffing or ownership is the question. Add cycle or date-range filters so the dashboard shows the exact review period.
Yes, a dashboard used for business review should separate cost from billable amount. Cost shows internal labor expense. Billable amount shows client-facing value based on the billing method and rate setup. Combining them hides margin and makes non-billable engineering work look like it has no financial effect.
Estimates on Linear issues should appear as planning context, not as logged time. They represent effort-point or size values, depending on the team's scale. Put estimates in their own field, then compare them with tracked hours after the work is complete.
A dashboard becomes misleading when the same view mixes periods, rate types, or work classifications without labels. Cycle data, weekly review data, and monthly finance data answer different questions. Cost rates, billable rates, billable time, and non-billable time also need separate columns so the reviewer can trace each total.
Stakeholders should receive the smallest export that answers their question. A client usually needs project, issue or task, billable time, date range, and amount. An internal finance reviewer usually needs cost, billable amount, non-billable time, member, and project. A delivery lead usually needs issue, assignee, cycle, and tracked time.
Everhour separates cost and billable rates, with per-person defaults and per-project overrides. It also preserves dated rate history, so reports can calculate labor cost and billable value from the correct rate period while Linear projects and issues remain the work context.
Everhour reports can be downloaded in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF format. Teams can use those exports for spreadsheet analysis, client sharing, monthly archives, or stakeholder updates when the reviewer does not work inside the time reporting layer.
Track approved hours against Linear work, apply the right rates, and export clean dashboard views from Everhour for project cost and billable reporting.
