|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
Enable BMAD methodology to learn from experiences across multiple projects, building a comprehensive knowledge base that improves effectiveness for all future projects.
|
|
|
|
## When to Execute
|
|
- After completing any project using BMAD methodology
|
|
- During periodic knowledge consolidation sessions
