Review of 'Shape Up' on 'Goodreads'
3 estrellas
Quick to read. Interesting to learn from the experience of others but there is nothing terribly groundbreaking in this book, it's basically another "hey, we have a lean workflow".
The fact that you have to learn a lot of in-house lingo to understand what they are talking about is ludicrous and when you add it to the lack of comparison or references to third parties you understand that these people have invented their own way of doing things with absolute contempt towards existing practices or, most probably, that they haven't invested any time in reading about other management practices.
Established practices and a common vocabulary help a lot for the exchange and dissemination of ideas. Disregarding them shows Basecamp's hubris and makes this book at times feel more like soapboxing rather than a genuine effort to contribute to the general good.
