Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
A weekly report gives engineering leads, product managers, finance, and clients a compact view of work completed during one calendar week. Linear stays the place for issues, projects, cycles, assignees, labels, and status. The time report adds the hour record that answers a different question: how much tracked work each project, issue, member, and cycle used during the selected week.
Start with a fixed date range, then group the report by the question in front of you. Project grouping shows where the week went at portfolio level. Issue grouping supports delivery review. Member grouping helps managers check workload and follow up on missing entries. Cycle grouping connects the week to the team's current time-boxed work period without treating effort points as clock time.
A useful weekly report does not need every column. For a stakeholder update, use project, cycle, tracked time, billable time, non-billable time, and total cost or billable amount if the audience should see money. For team review, add issue, assignee, label, date, and comments so the report shows the work behind each total.
Billable and non-billable time belong in the same weekly view because the split changes the conversation. A project can look busy while producing little invoiceable work, or a cycle can show heavy internal support that should not reach a client invoice. Keep rate-based columns limited to people who should review financial data, then export a cleaner version for everyone else.
Run the same report every week so the trend stays readable. A Friday review works when the team closes entries before the weekend. A Monday review works when managers need one final pass after late entries. The key control is consistency: one date range, one grouping order, and one definition of billable status across the reporting period.
Avoid mixing effort estimates with tracked hours in the same total. Linear estimate values describe effort or size, using scales such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt. Logged hours measure time actually spent. A weekly report can show both contexts side by side, but converting estimate points directly into hours or cost creates a misleading review.
A one-off spreadsheet works when you need a quick weekly summary for a small project and the entries are already clean. It breaks down when someone has to copy issue names, dates, people, rates, billable status, and comments by hand each week. Manual rebuilding also makes exports harder to trust because every version can drift from the approved time record.
Everhour turns Linear-connected time into standing reports over approved entries. The workflow keeps issue context from Linear, tracks hours through embedded controls, supports billable and cost reporting, and exports reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for people who do not live in the tool. That gives managers a repeatable weekly report instead of a rebuilt spreadsheet.

A weekly report should include the date range, project, issue, assignee or member, tracked time, billable time, non-billable time, and comments when comments explain the work. Add cycle, label, cost, billable amount, or invoice status only when those fields answer the review question for that week.
Project grouping works for portfolio review, issue grouping works for delivery detail, member grouping works for workload review, and cycle grouping works for time-boxed team review. Use one primary grouping first, then add a secondary breakdown only if the reader needs it. A stakeholder report usually gets worse when every possible field appears at once.
Weekly time reporting should use tracked hours for time totals. Issue estimates can sit next to the report as planning context, but they are effort or size values, not a native hour or cost conversion. Keep the two measures labeled separately so a point-based forecast does not become a payroll, billing, or cost figure.
Late and inconsistent entries make the report hard to defend. A week with missing hours, vague comments, mixed billable status, or retroactive edits after review gives managers totals without a clear audit trail. Lock the review cadence before sending the report, then treat later corrections as adjustments in the next reporting cycle.
Exports give finance, clients, and executives a version they can review outside the work system. Use CSV or Excel/XLSX when the recipient needs filtering, reconciliation, or spreadsheet analysis. Use PDF when the report is a fixed weekly summary and the reader should see the totals without changing the structure.
Everhour embeds tracking controls in Linear through its browser extension and syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, and tag data into reports. That lets teams log time against the work they already manage in Linear, then report weekly hours by the same project and issue context.
Everhour reports can be downloaded in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF format. Managers can prepare a weekly report with columns such as project, member, billable time, non-billable time, labor cost, profit, and invoice status, then send the right export to finance, clients, or leadership.
Connect Linear work to tracked time, billable status, and exportable reports. Everhour gives teams a standing weekly review workflow with less manual spreadsheet cleanup.
