One flat list.
One living map.

A backlog is a list. A plan is a shape.

Your team already knows what it is building. That knowledge lives in a list, sorted by priority, one row at a time. Fervio lays the same issues out as a map: the steps a user walks through go across the top, and the releases you are cutting go down the side. Nothing is imported and nothing is copied. The map is a second way to look at the issues you already have.

Move a card and the issue changes. Drag it to another column and its labels change. Drag it to another row and its release changes. There is nothing to sync and nothing to push, because there is only ever one copy of the truth, and it is in Linear.

How the map is built

Journeys come from initiatives
The bands across the top are your initiatives. The columns beneath them are label groups, so a card belongs to a step by carrying a label — something Linear already understands and already filters by.
Rows come from cycles or releases
Slice the map by cycle if your team runs them, or by release labels if it does not. Either way the row a card sits in is a fact stored in Linear, not in Fervio.
Fervio keeps almost nothing
What Fervio stores is the arrangement — which journey a step belongs to, and in what order. Issue titles, states and assignees are read live every time you open a map, so the map cannot drift from Linear.

Getting started

1 · Sign in with Linear
All you need is one Linear team. Fervio asks for the permissions it needs to read your issues and write your changes back, and nothing beyond them.
2 · Pick a team
Fervio builds the map from the issues that are already there. If your team has initiatives, they become the journeys straight away.
3 · Share the plan
Publish a read-only snapshot and send the link to anyone. They see the plan; they never touch your workspace.

The full setup guide is at fervio.co/docs.
