+### Workflow Vendoring (Advanced)
+
+For modules that need workflows from other modules but want to remain standalone, use **workflow vendoring**:
+
+**In Agent YAML:**
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: command-name
+    workflow: '{project-root}/.bmad/SOURCE_MODULE/workflows/path/workflow.yaml'
+    workflow-install: '{project-root}/.bmad/THIS_MODULE/workflows/vendored/workflow.yaml'
+    description: 'Command description'
+```
+
+**What Happens:**
+
+- During installation, workflows are copied from `workflow` to `workflow-install` location
+- Vendored workflows get `config_source` updated to reference this module's config
+- Compiled agent only references the `workflow-install` path
+- Module becomes fully standalone - no source module dependency required
+
+**Use Cases:**
+
+- Specialized modules that reuse common workflows with different configs
+- Domain-specific adaptations (e.g., game dev using standard dev workflows)
+- Testing workflows in isolation
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Module independence (no forced dependencies)
+- Clean namespace (workflows in your module)
+- Config isolation (use your module's settings)
+- Customization ready (modify vendored workflows freely)
+

+# BMad Method Brownfield Development Guide
+
+**Complete guide for working with existing codebases**
+
+**Reading Time:** ~35 minutes
+
+---
+
+## Quick Navigation

+
+## What is Brownfield Development?
+
+Brownfield projects involve working within existing codebases rather than starting fresh:
+
+- **Bug fixes** - Single file changes
+- **Small features** - Adding to existing modules
+- **Feature sets** - Multiple related features
+- **Major integrations** - Complex architectural additions
+- **System expansions** - Enterprise-scale enhancements
+
+**Key Difference from Greenfield:** You must understand and respect existing patterns, architecture, and constraints.
+
+**Core Principle:** AI agents need comprehensive documentation to understand existing code before they can effectively plan or implement changes.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Understanding Planning Tracks
+
+For complete track details, see [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md).
+
+**Brownfield tracks at a glance:**
+
+| Track                 | Scope                      | Typical Stories | Key Difference                                  |
+| --------------------- | -------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| **Quick Flow**        | Bug fixes, small features  | 1-15            | Must understand affected code and patterns      |
+| **BMad Method**       | Feature sets, integrations | 10-50+          | Integrate with existing architecture            |
+| **Enterprise Method** | Enterprise expansions      | 30+             | Full system documentation + compliance required |
+
+**Note:** Story counts are guidance, not definitions. Tracks are chosen based on planning needs.
+
+### Track Selection for Brownfield
+
+When you run `workflow-init`, it handles brownfield intelligently:
+
+**Step 1: Shows what it found**
+
+- Old planning docs (PRD, epics, stories)
+- Existing codebase
+
+**Step 2: Asks about YOUR work**
+
+> "Are these works in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
+
+- **(a) Works in progress** → Uses artifacts to determine level
+- **(b) Previous effort** → Asks you to describe NEW work
+- **(c) Proposed work** → Uses artifacts as guidance
+- **(d) None of these** → You explain your work
+
+**Step 3: Analyzes your description**
+
+- Keywords: "fix", "bug" → Quick Flow, "dashboard", "platform" → BMad Method, "enterprise", "multi-tenant" → Enterprise Method
+- Complexity assessment
+- Confirms suggested track with you
+
+**Key Principle:** System asks about YOUR current work first, uses old artifacts as context only.
+
+**Example: Old Complex PRD, New Simple Work**
+
+```
+System: "Found PRD.md (BMad Method track, 30 stories, 6 months old)"
+System: "Is this work in progress or previous effort?"
+You: "Previous effort - I'm just fixing a bug now"
+System: "Tell me about your current work"
+You: "Update payment method enums"
+System: "Quick Flow track (tech-spec approach). Correct?"
+You: "Yes"
+✅ Creates Quick Flow workflow
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0: Documentation (Critical First Step)
+
+🚨 **For brownfield projects: Always ensure adequate AI-usable documentation before planning**
+
+### Default Recommendation: Run document-project
+
+**Best practice:** Run `document-project` workflow unless you have **confirmed, trusted, AI-optimized documentation**.
+
+### Why Document-Project is Almost Always the Right Choice
+
+Existing documentation often has quality issues that break AI workflows:
+
+**Common Problems:**
+
+- **Too Much Information (TMI):** Massive markdown files with 10s or 100s of level 2 sections
+- **Out of Date:** Documentation hasn't been updated with recent code changes
+- **Wrong Format:** Written for humans, not AI agents (lacks structure, index, clear patterns)
+- **Incomplete Coverage:** Missing critical architecture, patterns, or setup info
+- **Inconsistent Quality:** Some areas documented well, others not at all
+
+**Impact on AI Agents:**
+
+- AI agents hit token limits reading massive files
+- Outdated docs cause hallucinations (agent thinks old patterns still apply)
+- Missing structure means agents can't find relevant information
+- Incomplete coverage leads to incorrect assumptions
+
+### Documentation Decision Tree
+
+**Step 1: Assess Existing Documentation Quality**
+
+Ask yourself:
+
+- ✅ Is it **current** (updated in last 30 days)?
+- ✅ Is it **AI-optimized** (structured with index.md, clear sections, <500 lines per file)?
+- ✅ Is it **comprehensive** (architecture, patterns, setup all documented)?
+- ✅ Do you **trust** it completely for AI agent consumption?
+
+**If ANY answer is NO → Run `document-project`**
+
+**Step 2: Check for Massive Documents**
+
+If you have documentation but files are huge (>500 lines, 10+ level 2 sections):
+
+1. **First:** Run `shard-doc` tool to split large files:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Load BMad Master or any agent
+   .bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml --input docs/massive-doc.md
+   ```
+
+   - Splits on level 2 sections by default
+   - Creates organized, manageable files
+   - Preserves content integrity
+
+2. **Then:** Run `index-docs` task to create navigation:
+
+   ```bash
+   .bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
+   ```
+
+3. **Finally:** Validate quality - if sharded docs still seem incomplete/outdated → Run `document-project`
+
+### Four Real-World Scenarios
+
+| Scenario | You Have                                   | Action                     | Why                                     |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| **A**    | No documentation                           | `document-project`         | Only option - generate from scratch     |
+| **B**    | Docs exist but massive/outdated/incomplete | `document-project`         | Safer to regenerate than trust bad docs |
+| **C**    | Good docs but no structure                 | `shard-doc` → `index-docs` | Structure existing content for AI       |
+| **D**    | Confirmed AI-optimized docs with index.md  | Skip Phase 0               | Rare - only if you're 100% confident    |
+
+### Scenario A: No Documentation (Most Common)
+
+**Action: Run document-project workflow**
+
+1. Load Analyst or Technical Writer (Paige) agent
+2. Run `*document-project`
+3. Choose scan level:
+   - **Quick** (2-5min): Pattern analysis, no source reading
+   - **Deep** (10-30min): Reads critical paths - **Recommended**
+   - **Exhaustive** (30-120min): Reads all files
+
+**Outputs:**
+
+- `docs/index.md` - Master AI entry point
+- `docs/project-overview.md` - Executive summary
+- `docs/architecture.md` - Architecture analysis
+- `docs/source-tree-analysis.md` - Directory structure
+- Additional files based on project type (API, web app, etc.)
+
+### Scenario B: Docs Exist But Quality Unknown/Poor (Very Common)
+
+**Action: Run document-project workflow (regenerate)**
+
+Even if `docs/` folder exists, if you're unsure about quality → **regenerate**.
+
+**Why regenerate instead of index?**
+
+- Outdated docs → AI makes wrong assumptions
+- Incomplete docs → AI invents missing information
+- TMI docs → AI hits token limits, misses key info
+- Human-focused docs → Missing AI-critical structure
+
+**document-project** will:
+
+- Scan actual codebase (source of truth)
+- Generate fresh, accurate documentation
+- Structure properly for AI consumption
+- Include only relevant, current information
+
+### Scenario C: Good Docs But Needs Structure
+
+**Action: Shard massive files, then index**
+
+If you have **good, current documentation** but it's in massive files:
+
+**Step 1: Shard large documents**
+
+```bash
+# For each massive doc (>500 lines or 10+ level 2 sections)
+.bmad/core/tools/shard-doc.xml \
+  --input docs/api-documentation.md \
+  --output docs/api/ \
+  --level 2  # Split on ## headers (default)
+```
+
+**Step 2: Generate index**
+
+```bash
+.bmad/core/tasks/index-docs.xml --directory ./docs
+```
+
+**Step 3: Validate**
+
+- Review generated `docs/index.md`
+- Check that sharded files are <500 lines each
+- Verify content is current and accurate
+- **If anything seems off → Run document-project instead**
+
+### Scenario D: Confirmed AI-Optimized Documentation (Rare)
+
+**Action: Skip Phase 0**
+
+Only skip if ALL conditions met:
+
+- ✅ `docs/index.md` exists and is comprehensive
+- ✅ Documentation updated within last 30 days
+- ✅ All doc files <500 lines with clear structure
+- ✅ Covers architecture, patterns, setup, API surface
+- ✅ You personally verified quality for AI consumption
+- ✅ Previous AI agents used it successfully
+
+**If unsure → Run document-project** (costs 10-30 minutes, saves hours of confusion)
+
+### Why document-project is Critical
+
+Without AI-optimized documentation, workflows fail:
+
+- **tech-spec** (Quick Flow) can't auto-detect stack/patterns → Makes wrong assumptions
+- **PRD** (BMad Method) can't reference existing code → Designs incompatible features
+- **architecture** can't build on existing structure → Suggests conflicting patterns
+- **story-context** can't inject existing patterns → Dev agent rewrites working code
+- **dev-story** invents implementations → Breaks existing integrations
+
+### Key Principle
+
+**When in doubt, run document-project.**
+
+It's better to spend 10-30 minutes generating fresh, accurate docs than to waste hours debugging AI agents working from bad documentation.
+

+
+## Workflow Phases by Track
+
+### Phase 1: Analysis (Optional)
+
+**Workflows:**
+
+- `brainstorm-project` - Solution exploration
+- `research` - Technical/market research
+- `product-brief` - Strategic planning (BMad Method/Enterprise tracks only)
+
+**When to use:** Complex features, technical decisions, strategic additions
+
+**When to skip:** Bug fixes, well-understood features, time-sensitive changes
+
+See the [Workflows section in BMM README](../README.md) for details.
+
+### Phase 2: Planning (Required)
+
+**Planning approach adapts by track:**
+
+**Quick Flow:** Use `tech-spec` workflow
+
+- Creates tech-spec.md
+- Auto-detects existing stack (brownfield)
+- Confirms conventions with you
+- Generates implementation-ready stories
+
+**BMad Method/Enterprise:** Use `prd` workflow
+
+- Creates PRD.md + epic breakdown
+- References existing architecture
+- Plans integration points
+
+**Brownfield-specific:** See [Scale Adaptive System](./scale-adaptive-system.md) for complete workflow paths by track.
+
+### Phase 3: Solutioning (BMad Method/Enterprise Only)
+
+**Critical for brownfield:**
+
+- Review existing architecture FIRST
+- Document integration points explicitly
+- Plan backward compatibility
+- Consider migration strategy
+
+**Workflows:**
+
+- `create-architecture` - Extend architecture docs (BMad Method/Enterprise)
+- `solutioning-gate-check` - Validate before implementation (BMad Method/Enterprise)
+
+### Phase 4: Implementation (All Tracks)
+
+**Sprint-based development through story iteration:**
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    SPRINT[sprint-planning<br/>Initialize tracking]
+    EPIC[epic-tech-context<br/>Per epic]
+    CREATE[create-story]
+    CONTEXT[story-context]
+    DEV[dev-story]
+    REVIEW[code-review]
+    CHECK{More stories?}
+    RETRO[retrospective<br/>Per epic]
+
+    SPRINT --> EPIC
+    EPIC --> CREATE
+    CREATE --> CONTEXT
+    CONTEXT --> DEV
+    DEV --> REVIEW
+    REVIEW --> CHECK
+    CHECK -->|Yes| CREATE
+    CHECK -->|No| RETRO
+
+    style SPRINT fill:#bfb,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
+    style RETRO fill:#fbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px,color:#000
+```
+
+**Status Progression:**
+
+- Epic: `backlog → contexted`
+- Story: `backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done`
+
+**Brownfield-Specific Implementation Tips:**
+
+1. **Respect existing patterns** - Follow established conventions
+2. **Test integration thoroughly** - Validate interactions with existing code
+3. **Use feature flags** - Enable gradual rollout
+4. **Context injection matters** - epic-tech-context and story-context reference existing patterns
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Always Document First
+
+Even if you know the code, AI agents need `document-project` output for context. Run it before planning.
+
+### 2. Be Specific About Current Work
+
+When workflow-init asks about your work:
+
+- ✅ "Update payment method enums to include Apple Pay"
+- ❌ "Fix stuff"
+
+### 3. Choose Right Documentation Approach
+
+- **Has good docs, no index?** → Run `index-docs` task (fast)
+- **No docs or need codebase analysis?** → Run `document-project` (Deep scan)
+
+### 4. Respect Existing Patterns
+
+Tech-spec and story-context will detect conventions. Follow them unless explicitly modernizing.
+
+### 5. Plan Integration Points Explicitly
+
+Document in tech-spec/architecture:
+
+- Which existing modules you'll modify
+- What APIs/services you'll integrate with
+- How data flows between new and existing code
+
+### 6. Design for Gradual Rollout
+
+- Use feature flags for new functionality
+- Plan rollback strategies
+- Maintain backward compatibility
+- Create migration scripts if needed
+
+### 7. Test Integration Thoroughly
+
+- Regression testing of existing features
+- Integration point validation
+- Performance impact assessment
+- API contract verification
+
+### 8. Use Sprint Planning Effectively
+
+- Run `sprint-planning` at Phase 4 start
+- Context epics before drafting stories
+- Update `sprint-status.yaml` as work progresses
+
+### 9. Leverage Context Injection
+
+- Run `epic-tech-context` before story drafting
+- Always create `story-context` before implementation
+- These reference existing patterns for consistency
+
+### 10. Learn Continuously
+
+- Run `retrospective` after each epic
+- Incorporate learnings into next stories
+- Update discovered patterns
+- Share insights across team

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### AI Agents Lack Codebase Understanding
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Suggestions don't align with existing patterns
+- Ignores available components
+- Doesn't reference existing code
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Run `document-project` with Deep scan
+2. Verify `docs/index.md` exists
+3. Check documentation completeness
+4. Run deep-dive on specific areas if needed
+
+### Have Documentation But Agents Can't Find It
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md exist
+- AI agents ask questions already answered
+- No `docs/index.md` file
+
+**Solution:**
+
+- **Quick fix:** Run `index-docs` task (2-5min)
+- **Comprehensive:** Run `document-project` workflow (10-30min)
+
+### Integration Points Unclear
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Not sure how to connect new code to existing
+- Unsure which files to modify
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Ensure `document-project` captured existing architecture
+2. Check `story-context` - should document integration points
+3. In tech-spec/architecture - explicitly document:
+   - Which existing modules to modify
+   - What APIs/services to integrate with
+   - Data flow between new and existing code
+4. Review architecture document for integration guidance
+
+### Existing Tests Breaking
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Regression test failures
+- Previously working functionality broken
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Review changes against existing patterns
+2. Verify API contracts unchanged (unless intentionally versioned)
+3. Run `test-review` workflow (TEA agent)
+4. Add regression testing to DoD
+5. Consider feature flags for gradual rollout
+
+### Inconsistent Patterns Being Introduced
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- New code style doesn't match existing
+- Different architectural approach
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Check convention detection (Quick Spec Flow should detect patterns)
+2. Review documentation - ensure `document-project` captured patterns
+3. Use `story-context` - injects pattern guidance
+4. Add to code-review checklist: pattern adherence, convention consistency
+5. Run retrospective to identify deviations early

+
+## The Paradigm Shift
+
+### Traditional Agile: Team-Based Story Parallelism
+
+- **Epic duration:** 4-12 weeks across multiple sprints
+- **Story duration:** 2-5 days per developer
+- **Team size:** 5-9 developers working on same epic
+- **Parallelization:** Multiple devs on stories within single epic
+- **Coordination:** Constant - daily standups, merge conflicts, integration overhead
+
+**Example:** Payment Processing Epic
+
+- Sprint 1-2: Backend API (Dev A)
+- Sprint 1-2: Frontend UI (Dev B)
+- Sprint 2-3: Testing (Dev C)
+- **Result:** 6-8 weeks, 3 developers, high coordination
+
+### Agentic Development: Individual Epic Ownership
+
+- **Epic duration:** Hours to days (not weeks)
+- **Story duration:** 30 min to 4 hours with AI agent
+- **Team size:** 1 developer + AI agents completes full epics
+- **Parallelization:** Developers work on separate epics
+- **Coordination:** Minimal - epic boundaries, async updates
+
+**Same Example:** Payment Processing Epic
+
+- Day 1 AM: Backend API stories (1 dev + agent, 3-4 stories)
+- Day 1 PM: Frontend UI stories (same dev + agent, 2-3 stories)
+- Day 2: Testing & deployment (same dev + agent, 2 stories)
+- **Result:** 1-2 days, 1 developer, minimal coordination
+
+### The Core Difference
+
+**What changed:** AI agents collapse story duration from days to hours, making **epic-level ownership** practical.
+
+**Impact:** Single developer with BMad Method can deliver in 1 day what previously required full team and multiple sprints.
+
+---
+
+## The Evolving Role of Product Managers and UX Designers
+
+### The Future is Now
+
+Product Managers and UX Designers are undergoing **the most significant transformation since the creation of these disciplines**. The emergence of AI agents is creating a new breed of technical product leaders who translate vision directly into working code.
+
+### From Spec Writers to Code Orchestrators
+
+**Traditional PM/UX (Pre-2025):**
+
+- Write PRDs, hand off to engineering
+- Wait weeks/months for implementation
+- Limited validation capabilities
+- Non-technical role, heavy on process
+
+**Emerging PM/UX (2025+):**
+
+- Write AI-optimized PRDs that **feed agentic pipelines directly**
+- Generate working prototypes in 10-15 minutes
+- Review pull requests from AI agents
+- Technical fluency is **table stakes**, not optional
+- Orchestrate cloud-based AI agent teams
+
+### Industry Research (November 2025)
+
+- **56% of product professionals** cite AI/ML as top focus
+- **AI agents automating** customer discovery, PRD creation, status reporting
+- **PRD-to-Code automation** enables PMs to build and deploy apps in 10-15 minutes
+- **By 2026**: Roles converging into "Full-Stack Product Lead" (PM + Design + Engineering)
+- **Very high salaries** for AI agent PMs who orchestrate autonomous dev systems
+
+### Required Skills for Modern PMs/UX
+
+1. **AI Prompt Engineering** - Writing PRDs AI agents can execute autonomously
+2. **Coding Literacy** - Understanding code structure, APIs, data flows (not production coding)
+3. **Agentic Workflow Design** - Orchestrating multi-agent systems (planning → design → dev)
+4. **Technical Architecture** - Reasoning frameworks, memory systems, tool integration
+5. **Data Literacy** - Interpreting model outputs, spotting trends, identifying gaps
+6. **Code Review** - Evaluating AI-generated PRs for correctness and vision alignment
+
+### What Remains Human
+
+**AI Can't Replace:**
+
+- Product vision (market dynamics, customer pain, strategic positioning)
+- Empathy (deep user research, emotional intelligence, stakeholder management)
+- Creativity (novel problem-solving, disruptive thinking)
+- Judgment (prioritization decisions, trade-off analysis)
+- Ethics (responsible AI use, privacy, accessibility)
+
+**What Changes:**
+
+- PMs/UX spend **more time on human elements** (AI handles routine execution)
+- Barrier between "thinking" and "building" collapses
+- Product leaders become **builder-thinkers**, not just spec writers
+
+### The Convergence
+
+- **PMs learning to code** with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0
+- **UX designers generating code** with UXPin Merge, Figma-to-code tools
+- **Developers becoming orchestrators** reviewing AI output vs writing from scratch
+
+**The Bottom Line:** By 2026, successful PMs/UX will fluently operate in both vision and execution. **BMad Method provides the structured framework to make this transition.**
+
+---
+
+## How BMad Method Enables PM/UX Technical Evolution
+
+BMad Method is specifically designed to position PMs and UX designers for this future.
+
+### 1. AI-Executable PRD Generation
+
+**PM Workflow:**
+
+```bash
+bmad pm *create-prd
+```
+
+**BMad produces:**
+
+- Structured, machine-readable requirements
+- Testable acceptance criteria per requirement
+- Clear epic/story decomposition
+- Technical context for AI agents
+
+**Why it matters:** Traditional PRDs are human-readable prose. BMad PRDs are **AI-executable work packages**.
+
+**PM Value:** Write once, automatically translated into agent-ready stories. No engineering bottleneck for translation.
+
+### 2. Automated Epic/Story Breakdown
+
+**PM Workflow:**
+
+```bash
+bmad pm *create-epics-and-stories
+```
+
+**BMad produces:**
+
+- Epic files with clear objectives
+- Story files with acceptance criteria, context, technical guidance
+- Priority assignments (P0-P3)
+- Dependency mapping
+
+**Why it matters:** Stories become **work packages for cloud AI agents**. Each story is self-contained with full context.
+
+**PM Value:** No more "story refinement sessions" with engineering. AI agents execute directly from BMad stories.
+
+### 3. Human-in-the-Loop Architecture
+
+**Architect/PM Workflow:**
+
+```bash
+bmad architect *create-architecture
+```
+
+**BMad produces:**
+
+- System architecture aligned with PRD
+- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
+- Epic-specific technical guidance
+- Integration patterns and standards
+
+**Why it matters:** PMs can **understand and validate** technical decisions. Architecture is conversational, not template-driven.
+
+**PM Value:** Technical fluency built through guided architecture process. PMs learn while creating.
+
+### 4. Cloud Agentic Pipeline (Emerging Pattern)
+
+**Current State (2025):**
+
+```
+PM writes BMad PRD
+   ↓
+create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
+   ↓
+Stories loaded by human developers + BMad agents
+   ↓
+Developers create PRs
+   ↓
+PM/Team reviews PRs
+   ↓
+Merge and deploy
+```
+
+**Near Future (2026):**
+
+```
+PM writes BMad PRD
+   ↓
+create-epics-and-stories generates story queue
+   ↓
+Stories automatically fed to cloud AI agent pool
+   ↓
+AI agents implement stories in parallel
+   ↓
+AI agents create pull requests
+   ↓
+PM/UX/Senior Devs review PRs
+   ↓
+Approved PRs auto-merge
+   ↓
+Continuous deployment to production
+```
+
+**Time Savings:**
+
+- **Traditional:** PM writes spec → 2-4 weeks engineering → review → deploy (6-8 weeks)
+- **BMad Agentic:** PM writes PRD → AI agents implement → review PRs → deploy (2-5 days)
+
+### 5. UX Design Integration
+
+**UX Designer Workflow:**
+
+```bash
+bmad ux *create-design
+```
+
+**BMad produces:**
+
+- Component-based design system
+- Interaction patterns aligned with tech stack
+- Accessibility guidelines
+- Responsive design specifications
+
+**Why it matters:** Design specs become **implementation-ready** for AI agents. No "lost in translation" between design and dev.
+
+**UX Value:** Designs validated through working prototypes, not static mocks. Technical understanding built through BMad workflows.
+
+### 6. PM Technical Skills Development
+
+**BMad teaches PMs technical skills through:**
+
+- **Conversational workflows** - No pre-requisite knowledge, learn by doing
+- **Architecture facilitation** - Understand system design through guided questions
+- **Story context assembly** - See how code patterns inform implementation
+- **Code review workflows** - Learn to evaluate code quality, patterns, standards
+
+**Example:** PM runs `create-architecture` workflow:
+
+- BMad asks about scale, performance, integrations
+- PM answers business questions
+- BMad explains technical implications
+- PM learns architecture concepts while making decisions
+
+**Result:** PMs gain **working technical knowledge** without formal CS education.
+
+### 7. Organizational Leverage
+
+**Traditional Model:**
+
+- 1 PM → supports 5-9 developers → delivers 1-2 features/quarter
+
+**BMad Agentic Model:**
+
+- 1 PM → writes BMad PRD → 20-50 AI agents execute stories in parallel → delivers 5-10 features/quarter
+
+**Leverage multiplier:** 5-10× with same PM headcount.
+
+### 8. Quality Consistency
+
+**BMad ensures:**
+
+- AI agents follow architectural patterns consistently (via story-context)
+- Code standards applied uniformly (via epic-tech-context)
+- PRD traceability throughout implementation (via acceptance criteria)
+- No "telephone game" between PM, design, and dev
+
+**PM Value:** What gets built **matches what was specified**, drastically reducing rework.
+
+### 9. Rapid Prototyping for Validation
+
+**PM Workflow (with BMad + Cursor/v0):**
+
+1. Use BMad to generate PRD structure and requirements
+2. Extract key user flow from PRD
+3. Feed to Cursor/v0 with BMad context
+4. Working prototype in 10-15 minutes
+5. Validate with users **before** committing to full development
+
+**Traditional:** Months of development to validate idea
+**BMad Agentic:** Hours of development to validate idea
+
+### 10. Career Path Evolution
+
+**BMad positions PMs for emerging roles:**
+
+- **AI Agent Product Manager** - Orchestrate autonomous development systems
+- **Full-Stack Product Lead** - Oversee product, design, engineering with AI leverage
+- **Technical Product Strategist** - Bridge business vision and technical execution
+
+**Hiring advantage:** PMs using BMad demonstrate:
+
+- Technical fluency (can read architecture, validate tech decisions)
+- AI-native workflows (structured requirements, agentic orchestration)
+- Results (ship 5-10× faster than peers)

+
+## Team Collaboration Patterns
+
+### Old Pattern: Story Parallelism
+
+**Traditional Agile:**
+
+```
+Epic: User Dashboard (8 weeks)
+├─ Story 1: Backend API (Dev A, Sprint 1-2)
+├─ Story 2: Frontend Layout (Dev B, Sprint 1-2)
+├─ Story 3: Data Viz (Dev C, Sprint 2-3)
+└─ Story 4: Integration Testing (Team, Sprint 3-4)
+
+Challenge: Coordination overhead, merge conflicts, integration issues
+```
+
+### New Pattern: Epic Ownership
+
+**Agentic Development:**
+
+```
+Project: Analytics Platform (2-3 weeks)
+
+Developer A:
+└─ Epic 1: User Dashboard (3 days, 12 stories sequentially with AI)
+
+Developer B:
+└─ Epic 2: Admin Panel (4 days, 15 stories sequentially with AI)
+
+Developer C:
+└─ Epic 3: Reporting Engine (5 days, 18 stories sequentially with AI)
+
+Benefit: Minimal coordination, epic-level ownership, clear boundaries
+```
+
+---
+
+## Work Distribution Strategies
+
+### Strategy 1: Epic-Based (Recommended)
+
+**Best for:** 2-10 developers
+
+**Approach:** Each developer owns complete epics, works sequentially through stories
+
+**Example:**
+
+```yaml
+epics:
+  - id: epic-1
+    title: Payment Processing
+    owner: alice
+    stories: 8
+    estimate: 2 days
+
+  - id: epic-2
+    title: User Dashboard
+    owner: bob
+    stories: 12
+    estimate: 3 days
+```
+
+**Benefits:** Clear ownership, minimal conflicts, epic cohesion, reduced coordination
+
+### Strategy 2: Layer-Based
+
+**Best for:** Full-stack apps, specialized teams
+
+**Example:**
+
+```
+Frontend Dev: Epic 1 (Product Catalog UI), Epic 3 (Cart UI)
+Backend Dev: Epic 2 (Product API), Epic 4 (Cart Service)
+```
+
+**Benefits:** Developers in expertise area, true parallel work, clear API contracts
+
+**Requirements:** Strong architecture phase, clear API contracts upfront
+
+### Strategy 3: Feature-Based
+
+**Best for:** Large teams (10+ developers)
+
+**Example:**
+
+```
+Team A (2 devs): Payments feature (4 epics)
+Team B (2 devs): User Management feature (3 epics)
+Team C (2 devs): Analytics feature (3 epics)
+```
+
+**Benefits:** Feature team autonomy, domain expertise, scalable to large orgs
+
+---
+
+## Enterprise Configuration with Git Submodules
+
+### The Challenge
+
+**Problem:** Teams customize BMad (agents, workflows, configs) but don't want personal tooling in main repo.
+
+**Anti-pattern:** Adding `.bmad/` to `.gitignore` breaks IDE tools, submodule management.
+
+### The Solution: Git Submodules
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- BMad exists in project but tracked separately
+- Each developer controls their own BMad version/config
+- Optional team config sharing via submodule repo
+- IDE tools maintain proper context
+
+### Setup (New Projects)
+
+**1. Create optional team config repo:**
+
+```bash
+git init bmm-config
+cd bmm-config
+npx bmad-method install
+# Customize for team standards
+git commit -m "Team BMM config"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+**2. Add submodule to project:**
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/your-project
+git submodule add https://github.com/your-org/bmm-config.git bmad
+git commit -m "Add BMM as submodule"
+```
+
+**3. Team members initialize:**
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/your-org/your-project.git
+cd your-project
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+# Make personal customizations in .bmad/
+```
+
+### Daily Workflow
+
+**Work in main project:**
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/your-project
+# BMad available at ./.bmad/, load agents normally
+```
+
+**Update personal config:**
+
+```bash
+cd bmad
+# Make changes, commit locally, don't push unless sharing
+```
+
+**Update to latest team config:**
+
+```bash
+cd bmad
+git pull origin main
+```
+
+### Configuration Strategies
+
+**Option 1: Fully Personal** - No submodule, each dev installs independently, use `.gitignore`
+
+**Option 2: Team Baseline + Personal** - Submodule has team standards, devs add personal customizations locally
+
+**Option 3: Full Team Sharing** - All configs in submodule, team collaborates on improvements
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Epic Ownership
+
+- **Do:** Assign entire epic to one developer (context → implementation → retro)
+- **Don't:** Split epics across multiple developers (coordination overhead, context loss)
+
+### 2. Dependency Management
+
+- **Do:** Identify epic dependencies in planning, document API contracts, complete prerequisites first
+- **Don't:** Start dependent epic before prerequisite ready, change API contracts without coordination
+
+### 3. Communication Cadence
+
+**Traditional:** Daily standups essential
+**Agentic:** Lighter coordination
+
+**Recommended:**
+
+- Daily async updates ("Epic 1, 60% complete, no blockers")
+- Twice-weekly 15min sync
+- Epic completion demos
+- Sprint retro after all epics complete
+
+### 4. Branch Strategy
+
+```bash
+feature/epic-1-payment-processing    (Alice)
+feature/epic-2-user-dashboard        (Bob)
+feature/epic-3-admin-panel           (Carol)
+
+# PR and merge when epic complete
+```
+
+### 5. Testing Strategy
+
+- **Story-level:** Unit tests (DoD requirement, written by agent during dev-story)
+- **Epic-level:** Integration tests across stories
+- **Project-level:** E2E tests after multiple epics complete
+
+### 6. Documentation Updates
+
+- **Real-time:** `sprint-status.yaml` updated by workflows
+- **Epic completion:** Update architecture docs, API docs, README if changed
+- **Sprint completion:** Incorporate retrospective insights
+
+### 7. Metrics (Different from Traditional)
+
+**Traditional:** Story points per sprint, burndown charts
+**Agentic:** Epics per week, stories per day, time to epic completion
+
+**Example velocity:**
+
+- Junior dev + AI: 1-2 epics/week (8-15 stories)
+- Mid-level dev + AI: 2-3 epics/week (15-25 stories)
+- Senior dev + AI: 3-5 epics/week (25-40 stories)
+

+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+### Key Transformation
+
+**Work Unit Changed:**
+
+- **Old:** Story = unit of work assignment
+- **New:** Epic = unit of work assignment
+
+**Why:** AI agents collapse story duration (days → hours), making epic ownership practical.
+
+### Velocity Impact
+
+- **Traditional:** Months for epic delivery, heavy coordination
+- **Agentic:** Days for epic delivery, minimal coordination
+- **Result:** 10-50× productivity gains
+
+### PM/UX Evolution
+
+**BMad Method enables:**
+
+- PMs to write AI-executable PRDs
+- UX designers to validate through working prototypes
+- Technical fluency without CS degrees
+- Orchestration of cloud AI agent teams
+- Career evolution to Full-Stack Product Lead
+
+### Enterprise Adoption
+
+**Git submodules:** Best practice for BMM management across teams
+**Team flexibility:** Mix of tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) with shared BMM foundation
+**Scalable patterns:** Epic-based, layer-based, feature-based distribution strategies
+
+### The Future (2026)
+
+PMs write BMad PRDs → Stories auto-fed to cloud AI agents → Parallel implementation → Human review of PRs → Continuous deployment
+
+**The future isn't AI replacing PMs—it's AI-augmented PMs becoming 10× more powerful.**

+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Q: Do I always need to run workflow-init?
+
+**A:** No, once you learn the flow you can go directly to workflows. However, workflow-init is helpful because it:
+
+- Determines your project's appropriate level automatically
+- Creates the tracking status file
+- Routes you to the correct starting workflow
+
+For experienced users: use the [Quick Reference](./quick-start.md#quick-reference-agent-document-mapping) to go directly to the right agent/workflow.
+
+### Q: Why do I need fresh chats for each workflow?
+
+**A:** Context-intensive workflows (like brainstorming, PRD creation, architecture design) can cause AI hallucinations if run in sequence within the same chat. Starting fresh ensures the agent has maximum context capacity for each workflow. This is particularly important for:
+
+- Planning workflows (PRD, architecture)
+- Analysis workflows (brainstorming, research)
+- Complex story implementation
+
+Quick workflows like status checks can reuse chats safely.
+
+### Q: Can I skip workflow-status and just start working?
+
+**A:** Yes, if you already know your project level and which workflow comes next. workflow-status is mainly useful for:
+
+- New projects (guides initial setup)
+- When you're unsure what to do next
+- After breaks in work (reminds you where you left off)
+- Checking overall progress
+
+### Q: What's the minimum I need to get started?
+
+**A:** For the fastest path:
+
+1. Install BMad Method: `npx bmad-method@alpha install`
+2. For small changes: Load PM agent → run tech-spec → implement
+3. For larger projects: Load PM agent → run prd → architect → implement
+
+### Q: How do I know if I'm in Phase 1, 2, 3, or 4?
+
+**A:** Check your `bmm-workflow-status.md` file (created by workflow-init). It shows your current phase and progress. If you don't have this file, you can also tell by what you're working on:
+
+- **Phase 1** - Brainstorming, research, product brief (optional)
+- **Phase 2** - Creating either a PRD or tech-spec (always required)
+- **Phase 3** - Architecture design (Level 2-4 only)
+- **Phase 4** - Actually writing code, implementing stories
+
+---
+
+## Choosing the Right Level
+
+### Q: How do I know which level my project is?
+
+**A:** Use workflow-init for automatic detection, or self-assess using these keywords:
+
+- **Level 0:** "fix", "bug", "typo", "small change", "patch" → 1 story
+- **Level 1:** "simple", "basic", "small feature", "add" → 2-10 stories
+- **Level 2:** "dashboard", "several features", "admin panel" → 5-15 stories
+- **Level 3:** "platform", "integration", "complex", "system" → 12-40 stories
+- **Level 4:** "enterprise", "multi-tenant", "multiple products" → 40+ stories
+
+When in doubt, start smaller. You can always run create-prd later if needed.
+
+### Q: Can I change levels mid-project?
+
+**A:** Yes! If you started at Level 1 but realize it's Level 2, you can run create-prd to add proper planning docs. The system is flexible - your initial level choice isn't permanent.
+
+### Q: What if workflow-init suggests the wrong level?
+
+**A:** You can override it! workflow-init suggests a level but always asks for confirmation. If you disagree, just say so and choose the level you think is appropriate. Trust your judgment.
+
+### Q: Do I always need architecture for Level 2?
+
+**A:** No, architecture is **optional** for Level 2. Only create architecture if you need system-level design. Many Level 2 projects work fine with just PRD + epic-tech-context created during implementation.
+
+### Q: What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
+
+**A:**
+
+- **Level 1:** 1-10 stories, uses tech-spec (simpler, faster), no architecture
+- **Level 2:** 5-15 stories, uses PRD (product-focused), optional architecture
+
+The overlap (5-10 stories) is intentional. Choose based on:
+
+- Need product-level planning? → Level 2
+- Just need technical plan? → Level 1
+- Multiple epics? → Level 2
+- Single epic? → Level 1
+
+---
+
+## Workflows and Phases
+
+### Q: What's the difference between workflow-status and workflow-init?
+
+**A:**
+
+- **workflow-status:** Checks existing status and tells you what's next (use when continuing work)
+- **workflow-init:** Creates new status file and sets up project (use when starting new project)
+
+If status file exists, use workflow-status. If not, use workflow-init.
+
+### Q: Can I skip Phase 1 (Analysis)?
+
+**A:** Yes! Phase 1 is optional for all levels, though recommended for complex projects. Skip if:
+
+- Requirements are clear
+- No research needed
+- Time-sensitive work
+- Small changes (Level 0-1)
+
+### Q: When is Phase 3 (Architecture) required?
+
+**A:**
+
+- **Level 0-1:** Never (skip entirely)
+- **Level 2:** Optional (only if system design needed)
+- **Level 3-4:** Required (comprehensive architecture mandatory)
+
+### Q: What happens if I skip a recommended workflow?
+
+**A:** Nothing breaks! Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. However, skipping recommended workflows (like architecture for Level 3) may cause:
+
+- Integration issues during implementation
+- Rework due to poor planning
+- Conflicting design decisions
+- Longer development time overall
+
+### Q: How do I know when Phase 3 is complete and I can start Phase 4?
+
+**A:** For Level 3-4, run the solutioning-gate-check workflow. It validates that PRD, architecture, and UX (if applicable) are cohesive before implementation. Pass the gate check = ready for Phase 4.
+
+### Q: Can I run workflows in parallel or do they have to be sequential?
+
+**A:** Most workflows must be sequential within a phase:
+
+- Phase 1: brainstorm → research → product-brief (optional order)
+- Phase 2: PRD must complete before moving forward
+- Phase 3: architecture → validate → gate-check (sequential)
+- Phase 4: Stories within an epic should generally be sequential, but stories in different epics can be parallel if you have capacity
+
+---
+
+## Planning Documents
+
+### Q: What's the difference between tech-spec and epic-tech-context?
+
+**A:**
+
+- **Tech-spec (Level 0-1):** Created upfront in Planning Phase, serves as primary/only planning document, a combination of enough technical and planning information to drive a single or multiple files
+- **Epic-tech-context (Level 2-4):** Created during Implementation Phase per epic, supplements PRD + Architecture
+
+Think of it as: tech-spec is for small projects (replaces PRD and architecture), epic-tech-context is for large projects (supplements PRD).
+
+### Q: Why no tech-spec at Level 2+?
+
+**A:** Level 2+ projects need product-level planning (PRD) and system-level design (Architecture), which tech-spec doesn't provide. Tech-spec is too narrow for coordinating multiple features. Instead, Level 2-4 uses:
+
+- PRD (product vision, requirements, epics)
+- Architecture (system design)
+- Epic-tech-context (detailed implementation per epic, created just-in-time)
+
+### Q: When do I create epic-tech-context?
+
+**A:** In Phase 4, right before implementing each epic. Don't create all epic-tech-context upfront - that's over-planning. Create them just-in-time using the epic-tech-context workflow as you're about to start working on that epic.
+
+**Why just-in-time?** You'll learn from earlier epics, and those learnings improve later epic-tech-context.
+
+### Q: Do I need a PRD for a bug fix?
+
+**A:** No! Bug fixes are typically Level 0 (single atomic change). Use Quick Spec Flow:
+
+- Load PM agent
+- Run tech-spec workflow
+- Implement immediately
+
+PRDs are for Level 2-4 projects with multiple features requiring product-level coordination.
+
+### Q: Can I skip the product brief?
+
+**A:** Yes, product brief is always optional. It's most valuable for:
+
+- Level 3-4 projects needing strategic direction
+- Projects with stakeholders requiring alignment
+- Novel products needing market research
+- When you want to explore solution space before committing
+
+---
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Q: Do I need story-context for every story?
+
+**A:** Technically no, but it's recommended. story-context provides implementation-specific guidance, references existing patterns, and injects expertise. Skip it only if:
+
+- Very simple story (self-explanatory)
+- You're already expert in the area
+- Time is extremely limited
+
+For Level 0-1 using tech-spec, story-context is less critical because tech-spec is already comprehensive.
+
+### Q: What if I don't create epic-tech-context before drafting stories?
+
+**A:** You can proceed without it, but you'll miss:
+
+- Epic-level technical direction
+- Architecture guidance for this epic
+- Integration strategy with other epics
+- Common patterns to follow across stories
+
+epic-tech-context helps ensure stories within an epic are cohesive.
+
+### Q: How do I mark a story as done?
+
+**A:** You have two options:
+
+**Option 1: Use story-done workflow (Recommended)**
+
+1. Load SM agent
+2. Run `story-done` workflow
+3. Workflow automatically updates `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning at Phase 4 start)
+4. Moves story from current status → `DONE`
+5. Advances the story queue
+
+**Option 2: Manual update**
+
+1. After dev-story completes and code-review passes
+2. Open `sprint-status.yaml` (created by sprint-planning)
+3. Change the story status from `review` to `done`
+4. Save the file
+
+The story-done workflow is faster and ensures proper status file updates.
+
+### Q: Can I work on multiple stories at once?
+
+**A:** Yes, if you have capacity! Stories within different epics can be worked in parallel. However, stories within the same epic are usually sequential because they build on each other.
+
+### Q: What if my story takes longer than estimated?
+
+**A:** That's normal! Stories are estimates. If implementation reveals more complexity:
+
+1. Continue working until DoD is met
+2. Consider if story should be split
+3. Document learnings in retrospective
+4. Adjust future estimates based on this learning
+
+### Q: When should I run retrospective?
+
+**A:** After completing all stories in an epic (when epic is done). Retrospectives capture:
+
+- What went well
+- What could improve
+- Technical insights
+- Input for next epic-tech-context
+
+Don't wait until project end - run after each epic for continuous improvement.
+

+
+## Brownfield Development
+
+### Q: What is brownfield vs greenfield?
+
+**A:**
+
+- **Greenfield:** New project, starting from scratch, clean slate
+- **Brownfield:** Existing project, working with established codebase and patterns
+
+### Q: Do I have to run document-project for brownfield?
+
+**A:** Highly recommended, especially if:
+
+- No existing documentation
+- Documentation is outdated
+- AI agents need context about existing code
+- Level 2-4 complexity
+
+You can skip it if you have comprehensive, up-to-date documentation including `docs/index.md`.
+
+### Q: What if I forget to run document-project on brownfield?
+
+**A:** Workflows will lack context about existing code. You may get:
+
+- Suggestions that don't match existing patterns
+- Integration approaches that miss existing APIs
+- Architecture that conflicts with current structure
+
+Run document-project and restart planning with proper context.
+
+### Q: Can I use Quick Spec Flow for brownfield projects?
+
+**A:** Yes! Quick Spec Flow works great for brownfield. It will:
+
+- Auto-detect your existing stack
+- Analyze brownfield code patterns
+- Detect conventions and ask for confirmation
+- Generate context-rich tech-spec that respects existing code
+
+Perfect for bug fixes and small features in existing codebases.
+
+### Q: How does workflow-init handle brownfield with old planning docs?
+
+**A:** workflow-init asks about YOUR current work first, then uses old artifacts as context:
+
+1. Shows what it found (old PRD, epics, etc.)
+2. Asks: "Is this work in progress, previous effort, or proposed work?"
+3. If previous effort: Asks you to describe your NEW work
+4. Determines level based on YOUR work, not old artifacts
+
+This prevents old Level 3 PRDs from forcing Level 3 workflow for new Level 0 bug fix.
+
+### Q: What if my existing code doesn't follow best practices?
+
+**A:** Quick Spec Flow detects your conventions and asks: "Should I follow these existing conventions?" You decide:
+
+- **Yes** → Maintain consistency with current codebase
+- **No** → Establish new standards (document why in tech-spec)
+
+BMM respects your choice - it won't force modernization, but it will offer it.
+
+---
+
+## Tools and Technical
+
+### Q: Why are my Mermaid diagrams not rendering?
+
+**A:** Common issues:
+
+1. Missing language tag: Use ` ```mermaid` not just ` ``` `
+2. Syntax errors in diagram (validate at mermaid.live)
+3. Tool doesn't support Mermaid (check your Markdown renderer)
+
+All BMM docs use valid Mermaid syntax that should render in GitHub, VS Code, and most IDEs.
+
+### Q: Can I use BMM with GitHub Copilot / Cursor / other AI tools?
+
+**A:** Yes! BMM is complementary. BMM handles:
+
+- Project planning and structure
+- Workflow orchestration
+- Agent Personas and expertise
+- Documentation generation
+- Quality gates
+
+Your AI coding assistant handles:
+
+- Line-by-line code completion
+- Quick refactoring
+- Test generation
+
+Use them together for best results.
+
+### Q: What IDEs/tools support BMM?
+
+**A:** BMM requires tools with **agent mode** and access to **high-quality LLM models** that can load and follow complex workflows, then properly implement code changes.
+
+**Recommended Tools:**
+
+- **Claude Code** ⭐ **Best choice**
+  - Sonnet 4.5 (excellent workflow following, coding, reasoning)
+  - Opus (maximum context, complex planning)
+  - Native agent mode designed for BMM workflows
+
+- **Cursor**
+  - Supports Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI models
+  - Agent mode with composer
+  - Good for developers who prefer Cursor's UX
+
+- **Windsurf**
+  - Multi-model support
+  - Agent capabilities
+  - Suitable for BMM workflows
+
+**What Matters:**
+
+1. **Agent mode** - Can load long workflow instructions and maintain context
+2. **High-quality LLM** - Models ranked high on SWE-bench (coding benchmarks)
+3. **Model selection** - Access to Claude Sonnet 4.5, Opus, or GPT-4o class models
+4. **Context capacity** - Can handle large planning documents and codebases
+
+**Why model quality matters:** BMM workflows require LLMs that can follow multi-step processes, maintain context across phases, and implement code that adheres to specifications. Tools with weaker models will struggle with workflow adherence and code quality.
+
+See [IDE Setup Guides](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/docs/ide-info) for configuration specifics.
+
+### Q: Can I customize agents?
+
+**A:** Yes! Agents are installed as markdown files with XML-style content (optimized for LLMs, readable by any model). Create customization files in `.bmad/_cfg/agents/[agent-name].customize.yaml` to override default behaviors while keeping core functionality intact. See agent documentation for customization options.
+
+**Note:** While source agents in this repo are YAML, they install as `.md` files with XML-style tags - a format any LLM can read and follow.
+
+### Q: What happens to my planning docs after implementation?
+
+**A:** Keep them! They serve as:
+
+- Historical record of decisions
+- Onboarding material for new team members
+- Reference for future enhancements
+- Audit trail for compliance
+
+For enterprise projects (Level 4), consider archiving completed planning artifacts to keep workspace clean.
+
+### Q: Can I use BMM for non-software projects?
+
+**A:** BMM is optimized for software development, but the methodology principles (scale-adaptive planning, just-in-time design, context injection) can apply to other complex project types. You'd need to adapt workflows and agents for your domain.
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Questions
+
+### Q: What if my project grows from Level 1 to Level 3?
+
+**A:** Totally fine! When you realize scope has grown:
+
+1. Run create-prd to add product-level planning
+2. Run create-architecture for system design
+3. Use existing tech-spec as input for PRD
+4. Continue with updated level
+
+The system is flexible - growth is expected.
+
+### Q: Can I mix greenfield and brownfield approaches?
+
+**A:** Yes! Common scenario: adding new greenfield feature to brownfield codebase. Approach:
+
+1. Run document-project for brownfield context
+2. Use greenfield workflows for new feature planning
+3. Explicitly document integration points between new and existing
+4. Test integration thoroughly
+
+### Q: How do I handle urgent hotfixes during a sprint?
+
+**A:** Use correct-course workflow or just:
+
+1. Save your current work state
+2. Load PM agent → quick tech-spec for hotfix
+3. Implement hotfix (Level 0 flow)
+4. Deploy hotfix
+5. Return to original sprint work
+
+Level 0 Quick Spec Flow is perfect for urgent fixes.
+
+### Q: What if I disagree with the workflow's recommendations?
+
+**A:** Workflows are guidance, not enforcement. If a workflow recommends something that doesn't make sense for your context:
+
+- Explain your reasoning to the agent
+- Ask for alternative approaches
+- Skip the recommendation if you're confident
+- Document why you deviated (for future reference)
+
+Trust your expertise - BMM supports your decisions.
+
+### Q: Can multiple developers work on the same BMM project?
+
+**A:** Yes! But the paradigm is fundamentally different from traditional agile teams.
+
+**Key Difference:**
+
+- **Traditional:** Multiple devs work on stories within one epic (months)
+- **Agentic:** Each dev owns complete epics (days)
+
+**In traditional agile:** A team of 5 devs might spend 2-3 months on a single epic, with each dev owning different stories.
+
+**With BMM + AI agents:** A single dev can complete an entire epic in 1-3 days. What used to take months now takes days.
+
+**Team Work Distribution:**
+
+- **Recommended:** Split work by **epic** (not story)
+- Each developer owns complete epics end-to-end
+- Parallel work happens at epic level
+- Minimal coordination needed
+
+**For full-stack apps:**
+
+- Frontend and backend can be separate epics (unusual in traditional agile)
+- Frontend dev owns all frontend epics
+- Backend dev owns all backend epics
+- Works because delivery is so fast
+
+**Enterprise Considerations:**
+
+- Use **git submodules** for BMM installation (not .gitignore)
+- Allows personal configurations without polluting main repo
+- Teams may use different AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
+- Developers may follow different methods or create custom agents/workflows
+
+**Quick Tips:**
+
+- Share `sprint-status.yaml` (single source of truth)
+- Assign entire epics to developers (not individual stories)
+- Coordinate at epic boundaries, not story level
+- Use git submodules for BMM in enterprise settings

+
+### Q: What is party mode and when should I use it?
+
+**A:** Party mode is a unique multi-agent collaboration feature where ALL your installed agents (19+ from BMM, CIS, BMB, custom modules) discuss your challenges together in real-time.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. Run `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode` (or `*party-mode` from any agent)
+2. Introduce your topic
+3. BMad Master selects 2-3 most relevant agents per message
+4. Agents cross-talk, debate, and build on each other's ideas
+
+**Best for:**
+
+- Strategic decisions with trade-offs (architecture choices, tech stack, scope)
+- Creative brainstorming (game design, product innovation, UX ideation)
+- Cross-functional alignment (epic kickoffs, retrospectives, phase transitions)
+- Complex problem-solving (multi-faceted challenges, risk assessment)
+
+**Example parties:**
+
+- **Product Strategy:** PM + Innovation Strategist (CIS) + Analyst
+- **Technical Design:** Architect + Creative Problem Solver (CIS) + Game Architect
+- **User Experience:** UX Designer + Design Thinking Coach (CIS) + Storyteller (CIS)
+
+**Why it's powerful:**
+
+- Diverse perspectives (technical, creative, strategic)
+- Healthy debate reveals blind spots
+- Emergent insights from agent interaction
+- Natural collaboration across modules
