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.
