BMAD Integration Assessment for PR #826

Date: 2025-10-28
File: high-level-product-plan.md

Current State: Zero BMAD Integration

The document is a generic software planning checklist with no references to:

  • BMAD agents
  • BMAD workflows
  • BMAD CLI commands
  • BMAD methodology (levels, phases)
  • BMAD modules (BMB, BMM, CIS)

Section-by-Section Integration Opportunities

Section 1: Product Architecture & Type

Current: Generic application type list (SaaS, Web, Desktop, Mobile, etc.)

BMAD Integration:

### Using BMAD for Architecture Planning

Define your product architecture using the BMAD `architect` agent:

\`\`\`bash
bmad architect
\*architecture
\`\`\`

The architect agent will guide you through:

- Application type selection
- Client architecture decisions
- Multi-platform considerations
- Tech stack alignment

See: [Architecture Workflow](../src/modules/bmm/workflows/3-architecture/README.md)

Relevant Agents/Workflows:

  • bmad architect (BMM module)
  • *architecture workflow
  • Tech-spec workflow

Section 2: Technology Stack

Current: Generic framework lists (React/Vue, Express/Django, etc.)

BMAD Integration:

### Technology Stack with BMAD

Document your tech stack decisions using:

\`\`\`bash
bmad architect
\*tech-spec
\`\`\`

The tech-spec workflow captures:

- Primary and secondary languages
- Framework choices with rationale
- Development tools and dependencies
- Build and testing strategy

Output: `docs/tech-spec.md`

See: [Tech Spec Workflow](../src/modules/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/tech-spec/README.md)

Relevant Agents/Workflows:

  • bmad architect
  • *tech-spec workflow
  • Tech context workflows

Section 3: Infrastructure & Deployment

Current: Generic hosting/deployment options

BMAD Integration:

### Infrastructure Planning with BMAD

Define infrastructure and deployment strategy as part of your architecture:

\`\`\`bash
bmad architect
\*architecture
\`\`\`

Include in your architecture document:

- Hosting strategy and cloud provider selection
- Deployment architecture (containers, CI/CD)
- Environment management approach
- Monitoring and observability plan

BMAD's architecture workflow ensures these decisions are:

- Documented in `docs/architecture.md`
- Accessible to all team agents
- Integrated with implementation workflows

Relevant Agents/Workflows:

  • bmad architect
  • Architecture workflow
  • Infrastructure architecture section

Section 4: Data & Security

Current: Generic data/security checklist

BMAD Integration:

### Data & Security Planning

Capture data and security requirements in your technical specification:

\`\`\`bash
bmad architect  
\*tech-spec
\`\`\`

Use the architect agent to document:

- Database strategy and data modeling
- Security requirements (auth, encryption, compliance)
- Backup and disaster recovery plans
- Data privacy and regulatory compliance

For implementation, use:
\`\`\`bash
bmad dev
\*create-story
\`\`\`

To create security-focused development stories.

Relevant Agents/Workflows:

  • bmad architect - Planning
  • bmad dev - Implementation
  • Story creation workflows

Section 5: User Experience & Access

Current: Generic UX considerations

BMAD Integration:

### UX Planning with BMAD CIS Module

For user experience and creative planning, use the Creative Innovation Suite (CIS):

\`\`\`bash
bmad brainstorm
\*design-thinking
\`\`\`

CIS workflows help with:

- User persona development
- Access pattern design
- Accessibility requirements
- Multi-user collaboration features

See: [CIS Module Documentation](../src/modules/cis/README.md)

Relevant Agents/Workflows:

  • CIS module agents (brainstorming-coach, design-thinking-coach)
  • Design thinking workflow
  • User experience workflows

Section 6: Scalability & Performance

Current: Generic performance requirements

BMAD Integration:

### Performance & Scalability Planning

Document performance requirements in your architecture and tech-spec:

\`\`\`bash
bmad architect
\*architecture
\`\`\`

Include non-functional requirements:

- Response time and throughput targets
- Scalability strategy (horizontal/vertical)
- Resource management approach
- Caching and CDN strategy

Link these to acceptance criteria in development stories:
\`\`\`bash
bmad dev
\*create-story
\`\`\`

Relevant Agents/Workflows:

  • bmad architect - Requirements
  • bmad dev - Implementation stories
  • Architecture workflow

Section 7: Business & Operational Considerations

Current: Generic business operations

BMAD Integration:

### Business Planning with BMAD

Define business model and operational requirements in your PRD:

\`\`\`bash
bmad pm
\*prd
\`\`\`

The Product Manager agent guides you through:

- Business model and pricing strategy
- Support and maintenance requirements
- SLA definitions
- Risk management planning

For brownfield projects, also see:
[BMAD Brownfield Guide](./bmad-brownfield-guide.md)

Relevant Agents/Workflows:

  • bmad pm (Product Manager)
  • *prd workflow
  • *brief workflow for project initiation

Section 8: Development Process

Current: Generic Agile/Scrum references

BMAD Integration:

### Development Process: The BMAD Method

BMAD provides a scale-adaptive development methodology with 5 levels:

| Level | Scope         | Planning           | Workflows                                    |
| ----- | ------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| 0     | Single story  | Minimal            | Direct to implementation                     |
| 1     | 2-4 stories   | Light brief        | Brief → implementation                       |
| 2     | 5-15 stories  | PRD + epics        | PRD → tech-spec → implementation             |
| 3     | 12-40 stories | PRD + architecture | Full planning → solutioning → implementation |
| 4     | 40+ stories   | Comprehensive      | Enterprise-scale workflows                   |

Start your project:
\`\`\`bash
bmad pm
\*workflow-status
\`\`\`

This initializes your project and guides you to the appropriate level and workflows.

See: [BMM Workflows](../src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md)

Relevant Agents/Workflows:

  • bmad pm - Project management
  • *workflow-status - Project initialization
  • Complete BMM workflow suite

Suggested Document Structure with BMAD Integration

Option A: BMAD-First Rewrite

Transform into: "Product Planning with the BMAD Method"

# Product Planning with the BMAD Method

Use this guide with BMAD agents and workflows to plan your product comprehensively.

## Getting Started

Initialize your project:
\`\`\`bash
bmad pm
\*workflow-status
\`\`\`

## 1. Product Requirements (Levels 2-4)

Use `bmad pm` → `*prd` workflow...
[Content integrated with BMAD commands]

## 2. Architecture Planning (Levels 3-4)

Use `bmad architect` → `*architecture` workflow...
[Content integrated with BMAD commands]

...etc

Option B: Reference with BMAD Supplement

Keep generic reference, add BMAD section:

# High Level Product Planning Considerations

[Generic content as-is]

---

## Using BMAD for Product Planning

This checklist can be completed systematically using BMAD workflows:

### Planning Phase

- **Product Requirements**: `bmad pm` → `*prd`
- **Architecture**: `bmad architect` → `*architecture`
- **Technical Spec**: `bmad architect` → `*tech-spec`

### Implementation Phase

- **Story Creation**: `bmad dev` → `*create-story`
- **Development**: `bmad dev` → `*dev-story`

For detailed workflow documentation, see:

- [BMM Module](../src/modules/bmm/README.md)
- [BMAD Workflows](../src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md)

Integration Effort Estimate

Option A (BMAD-First Rewrite): 3-4 hours

  • Rewrite each section with BMAD integration
  • Add CLI examples throughout
  • Link to specific workflows
  • Test all commands and links

Option B (Reference + Supplement): 1 hour

  • Add BMAD section at end
  • Create workflow mapping table
  • Add key links
  • Minimal content changes

Recommendation

Suggested approach: Option B (Reference + Supplement)

Rationale:

  1. Preserves contributor's work
  2. Low effort, high value
  3. Maintains generic reference utility
  4. Adds BMAD-specific guidance
  5. Respects different user needs (some may want generic checklist)

Implementation:

  1. Relocate to docs/planning/product-planning-checklist.md
  2. Add BMAD integration section at end
  3. Include workflow mapping table
  4. Link to BMM module documentation
  5. Update PR with suggested changes

Alternative: Link Instead of Integrate

If the contributor prefers to keep it fully generic:

Path: docs/references/product-planning-considerations.md

Addition: Simple disclaimer

> **Note**: This is a general-purpose planning reference.
> For BMAD-specific planning workflows, see the [BMM Module](../src/modules/bmm/README.md).

This respects the generic nature while providing clear navigation to BMAD-specific resources.
