Getting started with Ship

This guide takes you from sign-up to your first approved plan. You need about fifteen minutes and a rough idea of what you want to build.

Step one: write a brief. A few sentences are enough: who it is for, what problem it solves and what done looks like.

Step two: answer Captain's questions. They are there to fill gaps in the brief, not to test you. Skip any you cannot answer yet.

Step three: review and approve the plan. You can edit milestones, change owners or push back on scope before you approve.

Step four: follow the voyage. Progress appears as the crew works. Decisions that need you arrive as approval cards. See pricing when you are ready for more.
