Easily the best Jira plugin I’ve used. Thoughtfully designed. Captures the Shape Up philosophy and process really well. Updating the Hill Chart is actually easier and more intuitive than Basecamp. The dev team is also very responsive. If you are stuck using Jira - but want to practice Shape Up - highly recommend this plugin.

Basecamp is great for Shape Up and Hill Chart.
Now Jira is too.

Want to ship on time more often?

Creating high-performing teams is full of challenges. Product managers are often overwhelmed by menial tasks, and teams take forever to release.

Try Shape Up to build engaged teams with a strong sense of focus, purpose, and ownership.

Use Shape Up Board’s hill chart to help your teams sequence work correctly and make good trade-offs.

Smart prioritization through integrated hill chart and card wall

Strategize how to “push boulders uphill” early in the project, so that work becomes effortless near the end. The app gives you a tightly integrated Trello-like board, tying together native Jira stories and the hill chart.

Eliminate status update meetings

Move your story along the hill chart as you make progress. Everyone gets an accurate view of the whole team’s progress. Get rid of status update meetings. Or at least, eliminate vagueness from such meetings. The hill chart makes status updates actionable.

Reporting and insights

Stay on top of an epic by drilling down to see its historical progression and making sure that stories are picked up strategically, not haphazardly.

Enjoy the power and security of Jira

Use with confidence. Shape Up Board is as secure as Jira, literally.

The app is hosted entirely on Jira’s cloud ecosystem. Shape Up Board does not handle any personal information, nor does it send data out from Jira. Everything stays in Jira.

The app works perfectly well alongside your Kanban or Scrum setup on Jira. It simply presents an alternate view.

About Shape Up

Shape Up and hill charts were introduced by Basecamp to help teams around the world become more productive.

You can download the Shape Up e-book for free on Basecamp’s website.

Authored by Ryan Singer, who was Basecamp’s Head of Product Strategy at the time of publication, the book explains how Basecamp remains prolific despite rapid headcount growth.

It’s a short and great read. If you’ve been part of a cohesive, high-performing team, you will likely find Shape Up familiar.
