Overview
BMad Method's Two Key Innovations:
1. Agentic Planning: Dedicated agents (Analyst, PM, Architect) collaborate with you to create detailed, consistent PRDs and Architecture documents. Through advanced prompt engineering and human-in-the-loop refinement, these planning agents produce comprehensive specifications that go far beyond generic AI task generation.
2. Context-Engineered Development: The Scrum Master agent then transforms these detailed plans into hyper-detailed development stories that contain everything the Dev agent needs - full context, implementation details, and architectural guidance embedded directly in story files.
This two-phase approach eliminates both planning inconsistency and context loss - the biggest problems in AI-assisted development. Your Dev agent opens a story file with complete understanding of what to build, how to build it, and why.
📖 See the complete workflow in the User Guide - Planning phase, development cycle, and all agent roles
Quick Navigation
Understanding the BMad Workflow
Before diving in, review these critical workflow diagrams that explain how BMad works:
- Planning Workflow (Web UI) - How to create PRD and Architecture documents
- Core Development Cycle (IDE) - How SM, Dev, and QA agents collaborate through story files
⚠️ These diagrams explain 90% of BMad Method Agentic Agile flow confusion - Understanding the PRD+Architecture creation and the SM/Dev/QA workflow and how agents pass notes through story files is essential - and also explains why this is NOT taskmaster or just a simple task runner!

Fastest Start: Web UI Full Stack Team at your disposal (2 minutes)
- Get the bundle: Save or clone the full stack team file or choose another team
- Create AI agent: Create a new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
- Upload & configure: Upload the file and set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
- Start Ideating and Planning: Start chatting! Type
*helpto see available commands or pick an agent like*analystto start right in on creating a brief. - CRITICAL: Talk to BMad Orchestrator in the web at ANY TIME (#bmad-orchestrator command) and ask it questions about how this all works!
- When to moved to the IDE: Once you have your PRD, Architecture, optional UX and Briefs - its time to switch over to the IDE to shard your docs, and start implementing the actual code! See the User guide for more details
