# BMAD-METHOD Claude Code Integration Success Metrics

## Critical Functionality Metrics

### 1. Agent Routing Accuracy
- **Target**: 95%+ correct agent routing based on user request
- **Measurement**: Percentage of requests routed to appropriate BMAD agent
- **Failure Threshold**: < 80% accuracy

- **Failure Threshold**: User confusion about response format or current agent
- **Test Method**: User study with elicitation scenarios

### 4. Concurrent Session Management
- **Target**: Support 5+ concurrent agent sessions
- **Measurement**: Session isolation, switching speed, state preservation
- **Failure Threshold**: Session cross-contamination or state loss
- **Test Method**: Stress test with multiple active sessions

### 5. Response Time
- **Target**: < 2 seconds for agent routing, < 5 seconds for response
- **Measurement**: Time from request to first agent response
- **Failure Threshold**: > 10 seconds for any operation
- **Test Method**: Performance benchmarking

- **Target**: 90%+ acceptance rate for generated user stories
- **Measurement**: Stories meet INVEST criteria, proper format
- **Failure Threshold**: < 70% meet basic story criteria
- **Test Method**: Generate 20 stories, evaluate with checklist

### 7. Architecture Design Completeness (Architect Agent)
- **Target**: 100% coverage of required architectural components
- **Measurement**: Presence of all template sections, technical accuracy
- **Failure Threshold**: Missing critical architectural elements
- **Test Method**: Generate architectures for standard patterns

### 8. Workflow Completion
- **Target**: 85%+ successful end-to-end workflow completion
- **Measurement**: From initial request to final deliverable
- **Failure Threshold**: < 60% completion rate
- **Test Method**: Execute full BMAD workflows

### 9. Checklist Execution
- **Target**: 100% checklist item coverage
- **Measurement**: All checklist items addressed in output
- **Failure Threshold**: Skipped checklist items without justification
- **Test Method**: Run all BMAD checklists

### 10. Template Adherence
- **Target**: 95%+ template structure compliance
- **Measurement**: Generated documents match template format
- **Failure Threshold**: < 80% template compliance
- **Test Method**: Compare outputs to templates

## User Experience Metrics

### 11. Agent Identification Clarity
- **Target**: 100% clear agent identification in all interactions
- **Measurement**: User always knows which agent they're talking to
- **Failure Threshold**: Any ambiguity about active agent
- **Test Method**: User feedback survey

### 12. Command Discovery
- **Target**: 90%+ command discovery rate
- **Measurement**: Users find and use appropriate commands
- **Failure Threshold**: < 70% discovery rate
- **Test Method**: New user testing

### 13. Error Recovery
- **Target**: 100% graceful error handling
- **Measurement**: Clear error messages, recovery suggestions
- **Failure Threshold**: Cryptic errors or system crashes
- **Test Method**: Error injection testing

## Installation & Setup

### 14. Installation Success Rate
- **Target**: 95%+ successful installations
- **Measurement**: Complete installation without manual intervention
- **Failure Threshold**: < 80% success rate
- **Test Method**: Fresh installation on various systems

### 15. Upstream Compatibility
