Why we picked Shape Up
It optimises for finished work, not perfect work — the difference between a quarter that ships and a quarter that slides.
The cycle
Six weeks of build, two weeks of cool-down, written pitches in between. No backlog, no sprints, no daily standup.
How we made it async
Loom for demos, Linear for tickets, written shaping docs for everything else. The team gets back ~10 hours per engineer per week.
