How do I invoke the Shape Up expert in Claude?

You can use the /shape-up command or use triggers like 'shaping', 'pitching', or 'betting table' to activate the methodology-specific guidance.

What are Hill Charts in this context?

Hill Charts are a visual progress tracking tool used in Shape Up to show the difference between the 'uphill' phase (figuring out what to do) and the 'downhill' phase (execution).

Can I use this for traditional agile sprints?

While specifically designed for Shape Up's 6-week cycles, the principles of appetite-setting and risk reduction can be applied to improve various project management frameworks.

What is the Shape Up methodology?

Shape Up is a product development framework created by Basecamp that focuses on shaping work at the right level of abstraction and working in fixed-time cycles rather than open-ended sprints.

How does this skill help with project pitches?

The skill guides you through the 'shaping' process, helping define the problem, solution, and 'no-gos' to ensure your pitch is comprehensive enough for stakeholders to make a betting decision.
