Shape Up

Hill charts in Shape Up

In Shape Up, hill charts give teams a compact way to report confidence across project scopes. They replace activity reporting with a view of what has been figured out.

Track shaped scopes

Each dot represents a meaningful part of the bet. The team moves it based on certainty, which makes progress visible without breaking the project into tickets.

Support autonomy

Teams can communicate their state without turning every update into a request for direction. Leaders can see where attention or a decision is needed.

Keep cycles honest

Snapshots show how a cycle developed, while attention signals identify risk and circuit breakers. Hillchart adds timeline, epics, and teams when the work needs broader coordination.
