The BMAD Advantage

Traditional Development vs BMAD Method

Traditional Approach	BMAD Method
Manual coordination between roles	Automated orchestration
Context switching between tools	Unified AI-driven workflow
Inconsistent deliverable quality	Template-driven standardization
Knowledge silos	Shared context across all personas
Time-consuming handoffs	Seamless persona transitions

Key Benefits

** 10x Faster Development**: Automated coordination eliminates bottlenecks
** Consistent Quality**: Template-driven deliverables ensure standards
** Seamless Handoffs**: Personas share context automatically
** Role Specialization**: Each persona is an expert in their domain
** Environment Flexibility**: Works in web browsers or IDEs
