shape-up

SKILL.md

Shape Up is a product development methodology built on one core insight: you cannot estimate your way to shipping—you must shape your way there.

Traditional approaches ask "How long will this take?" and then try to hit that estimate. Shape Up flips this: decide upfront how much time you're willing to spend (the appetite), then shape a version of the solution that fits within that constraint.

The methodology emerged from 17 years of building Basecamp, where the founding team faced an unusual constraint: their only engineer (DHH) worked just 10 hours per week. This forced extreme clarity about what to build and ruthless scoping to ensure every hour counted.

Úselo cuando se le solicite "ponerse en forma", "realizar una sesión de modelado", "establecer el apetito", "alcanzar un proyecto sin estimaciones", "mesa de apuestas" o "enviar en ciclos fijos". Ayuda a los equipos a escapar del desarrollo basado en estimaciones y de la fatiga de Scrum. El método Shape Up (creado por Ryan Singer en Basecamp/37signals) utiliza períodos de tiempo fijos, alcance variable y configuración colaborativa para realizar un trabajo significativo de manera predecible.
