Purposedifferent
Shape Up helps clarify scope, sequence, and delivery flow. It makes work boundaries and decisions explicit and captures results as pitches, bet-table decisions, and hill charts.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
