BMAD Methodology Evolution Log
This document tracks all improvements, changes, and evolution of the BMAD methodology framework.
Version History
v1.0 - Initial Self-Improving Framework (Milestone 1)
Date: Initial Implementation
Commit: a6f1bf7 - "Milestone 1: Initialize Self-Improving BMAD Framework"
Changes Made:
- Transformed static BMAD framework into self-improving system
- Added milestone-based git workflow for methodology evolution
- Enhanced CLAUDE.md with self-improvement strategy
- Created evolution tracking infrastructure
Key Improvements:
- Continuous Evolution: Methodology now improves with each project milestone
- Version Control: Git tracks methodology changes with rollback capability
- Approval Process: Major changes require user confirmation before implementation
- Effectiveness Metrics: Systematic measurement of methodology performance
Impact Metrics:
- Baseline established for future comparison
- Framework prepared for adaptive learning
v2.0 - Meta-Improvement Infrastructure (Milestone 2)
Date: Phase 2 Implementation
Commit: TBD
Changes Made:
- Enhanced personas with self-improvement principles and capabilities
- Created comprehensive improvement tracking and measurement systems
- Added methodology optimization tasks for systematic enhancement
- Implemented inter-persona feedback loops for collaborative learning
Key Improvements:
- Self-Improving Personas: All personas now have built-in learning and optimization capabilities
- Systematic Measurement: Comprehensive effectiveness tracking with velocity, quality, and satisfaction metrics
- Optimization Tasks: Structured approaches for persona improvement and methodology enhancement
- Collaborative Learning: Feedback loops between personas enable continuous workflow optimization
New Capabilities Added:
- Methodology Retrospective Task - systematic analysis of completed phases
