This document discusses the Shape Up methodology for agile software development projects. It introduces Shape Up as similar to Dual Track Agile, with an initial 6-week discovery process. Key aspects of how shaping works include setting boundaries, roughing out elements, addressing risks, writing a pitch, and creating simple breadboarding prototypes. Other topics covered are cutting scope, how the pitch works, using betting tables instead of backlogs, dealing with bugs, and making progress on the whole stack through scope mapping and discovery charts.
