BMAD Method Deployment Architecture

Overview

Unlike traditional software systems, the BMAD Method is not "deployed" in the conventional sense with servers, databases, and APIs. Instead, it is "deployed" as a methodology through documentation, templates, and practices. This document outlines how the BMAD Method can be effectively deployed within an organization or team.

Conclusion

Deploying the BMAD Method is primarily about implementing a methodology rather than installing software. By focusing on documentation, templates, processes, and integration with existing tools, organizations can effectively adopt the BMAD Method and realize its benefits for AI-driven development.

The deployment architecture outlined in this document provides a framework for understanding how the BMAD Method can be implemented in various organizational contexts, from small teams to large enterprises.
