Cut scope by flipping the question. Instead of "How long will this take?" ask "How much time is this problem WORTH?" Set the appetite first, then shape the solution to fit. This is Shape Up's core insight: fixed time, variable scope.
If a project takes more than 6 weeks (or 3 weeks for 1-3 people per Linear's method), it's too big. Break it down or walk away.
The appetite is NOT an estimate. An estimate says "this will take X." An appetite says "this is WORTH X." If the shaped solution doesn't fit the appetite, cut scope until it does — or kill the project.
Reduzieren Sie den Spielraum rücksichtslos mit dem Appetit-First-Ansatz von Shape Up. Verwenden Sie diese Funktion, wenn Sie aufgefordert werden, den Umfang zu reduzieren, das MVP zu finden, Funktionen zu kürzen, schneller zu versenden oder herauszufinden, was gekürzt werden soll.
