Shape Up
Book • 2019
Shape Up is a book by Ryan Singer that provides a practical framework for managing software development projects.
It emphasizes the importance of shaping work to fit within fixed time constraints, rather than fixing the scope and letting the time vary.
The book introduces a three-stage process: shaping, building, and batting, which helps teams focus on delivering valuable work efficiently.
Shape Up promotes a more collaborative and autonomous approach, empowering teams to make decisions and solve problems independently.
The book's principles have been adopted by numerous teams and organizations seeking to improve their product development processes.
