Workflow
- Shape a feature idea by defining the problem, appetite, solution, rabbit holes, no-gos, and risks.
- Plan a cycle by running a betting table to select shaped projects based on strategic fit, significance, appetite, and team availability.
- Manage scope during build by identifying must-haves vs. nice-to-haves and cutting scope to fit the fixed time.
- Follow the 6-week build cycle with a 2-week cooldown period for bug fixes, technical debt, and shaping future cycles.
