Imagined vs discovered tasks The way to really figure out what needs to be done is to start doing real work. https://basecamp.com/shapeup/3.1-chapter-10#imagined-vs-disc...
IMO, tickets for planned work are an anti-pattern. Tickets are good for reactive work: bug reports, support, etc. Use Kanban board for tracking them.Planned work should be organically discovered from the plan by the developers (or agents) who will be implementing it, not assigned via Jira tickets by the project manager. Shape Up recommedns using Hill Charts for per-scope (vertical slice) progress updates. | ||

Basically, it’s about the “flexible scope” principle from, you guessed it, Getting Real: https://basecamp.com/gettingreal/02.4-fix-time-and-budget-fl...) | ||
