The People view
Tickets by assignee, so you can see who has what, whose reviews are waiting, and who waits on whom.
On this page
The People view puts the sprint’s tickets in one row per assignee. It is for planning and stand-ups: who has which tickets, how far each person’s tickets have got, and where one person’s work waits on another’s.
To give a ticket to someone else, open it and pick them from the assignee menu (Jira, GitHub Issues and Linear). See Assign the ticket.

- One row per person, in alphabetical order, with Unassigned last. The order never depends on how much a person has.
- The row header says how many tickets the person has and, when Limn can match the tracker’s name to a GitHub account, how many pull-request reviews are waiting on them. When it cannot match the name, it says nothing rather than zero.
- The colour bar shows the person’s tickets by column. Hover over it to read the counts.
- Each card shows the ticket’s theme where the other views show the assignee.
- Arrows between rows are hand-offs, read as “Tom Becker waits on Priya Nair”.
#What you can do
- Select a card to read its story in the panel on the right.
- Follow an arrow between two rows to see which ticket holds up the other person.
- Turn on Has PRs to see only the tickets with code in flight.
#Why it helps
A hand-off between two people is where work most often stalls: one person finishes, the other does not know. The People view draws those hand-offs, so they come up in the stand-up rather than at the sprint review. For the chains that put the sprint at risk, see The Critical path view.
