"description": "The organizational methodology behind Shape Up, practiced at Basecamp/37signals.\nOperates in six-week cycles with a two-week cooldown. Small teams (1 designer +\n1-2 programmers) get shaped pitches with fixed time/variable scope. No backlogs,\nno estimation — bets are placed each cycle. Emphasizes appetite over estimates,\nhill charts for progress tracking, and circuit breakers to kill stalled projects.\n",
