Rhythm

Build. Breathe. Repeat.

Shape Up runs on a two-part rhythm: 6-week building cycles where teams focus without interruption, followed by 2-week cool-downs for recovery, exploration, and shaping the next batch of work.

Cool-down: Jul 27, 2026Aug 10, 2026

Breathe, fix bugs, shape next cycle's pitches, hold the betting table.

Made for Shapers

Shape better. Bet smarter.

Purpose-built tools for turning raw ideas into de-risked pitches. Write structured pitches, sketch solutions, and bring shaped work to the betting table.

Write structured pitches

Every pitch follows the same format: Problem, Appetite, Solution, Rabbit Holes, and No-Gos. The structure forces you to think through the work before betting on it.

01

Problem

What pain are we solving? Why now?

02

Appetite

How much time is this worth? This constrains the solution.

03

Solution

Elements of the approach. Not a detailed spec.

Sketch at the right fidelity

Fat marker sketches and breadboards keep you at the right level of abstraction. Rough enough to leave room for implementation, solved enough to reduce risk.

Bet on what matters

Leadership reviews shaped pitches, assembles teams, and places bets. No backlogs, no grooming sessions, no story points. Just bet or pass.

Made for Builders

Build with focus. Ship with confidence.

Small autonomous teams own the project for 6 weeks. Your workspace adapts to your assignment, AI augments your planning, and your private process stays private.

Hill chart shows where you really are

Break work into scopes. Drag them on the hill to show progress. Left side = figuring it out. Right side = making it happen. No fake velocity metrics — just honest visual progress.

Tasks, documents, and diagrams — all in one place

Track your tasks. Write specs and notes. Sketch wireframes. No context switching between tools. Everything stays connected to your project and scopes.

Track your work privately

Create tasks linked to scopes. Search and filter to find what matters. Everything stays private to you — update your progress without broadcasting every detail to the team.

Principles

Built on convictions, not compromises

These aren't settings you toggle on. They're baked into every screen.

No backlogs
Fixed time, variable scope
Circuit breakers
Assign projects, not tasks
Done means deployed
Appetite over estimates
Makers own their workflow
