Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that Matters
From Basecamp / 37signals by Ryan Singer free online book
Why we picked it
Basecamp's battle-tested, opinionated system for shipping meaningful work in fixed cycles without endless backlogs, a primary source, free in full. The antidote to over-planning your roadmap.
- Work in short cycles with a cool-down between them.
- Fix time, vary scope, use 'appetites,' not estimates.
- Make bets, not plans; no runaway backlog.
