Escape the build trap and endless backlogs. Use Basecamp's methodology to ship meaningful work in 6-week cycles with fixed time, variable scope. Use when: **Product planning** to replace endless backlogs; **Feature development** with clear time boundaries; **Team autonomy** when you want self-directed teams; **Scope management** when projects tend to balloon; **Startup development** with limited resources
Use when asked to "shape up", "run a shaping session", "set an appetite", "scope a project without estimates", "betting table", or "ship in fixed cycles". Helps teams escape estimate-driven development and Scrum fatigue. The Shape Up method (created by Ryan Singer at Basecamp/37signals) uses fixed time boxes, variable scope, and collaborative shaping to ship meaningful work predictably.
