Shaping Before You Build
The article discusses the concept of shaping in software development, particularly within the Shape Up methodology. It emphasizes the importance of defining the scope and boundaries of features before development begins. By doing so, teams can avoid scope creep and ensure that features are built within a reasonable timeframe.
- ▪Shaping helps bridge the gap between user stories and feasible development tasks.
- ▪Every shaped feature consists of appetite, solution, and boundaries.
- ▪A pitch is created to capture these elements and justify the feature's development.
