Suffering with too many WIP never-ending projects? Here is what 37signals recommend: — You need to focus on finishing WIP projects first. You can’t add new stuff unless the previous stuff is finished. — Being 90% done could mean that you're still only halfway through the project. — Don't work on two things at once. It's a huge mental burden. — You need to focus on hard issues first and don't start with easy ones and wait until the end for the hard ones. — Giving lots of time to a project is a curse, not a blessing.

This season on the Rework podcast (by Basecamp) they are discussing many "chapters" from Shape Up. In this episode they discuss Writing a Pitch. Few insights: — Writing a Pitch is not the same as shaping. Writing a Pitch is just formalizing the shaping discussion. — Try to find a balance between writing a detailed spec and having just one line. — The goal is to give teams of two (designer + engineer) a sense of autonomy, purpose, and mastery. — Most of the design decisions are made during the cycle since, according to them, that's the most effective way. — The pitch should focus on Rabbit Holes to identify risks and things that could take forever. — When you feel that the whole Pitch is one big Rabbit Hole, treat it as a science project with the goal of getting information.
