## Section-by-Section Integration Opportunities
|
|
|
|
### Section 1: Product Architecture & Type
|
|
|
|
**Current**: Generic application type list (SaaS, Web, Desktop, Mobile, etc.)
|
|
|
|
**BMAD Integration**:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
### 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)
|
|

### 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.

## Suggested Document Structure with BMAD Integration
|
|
|
|
### Option A: BMAD-First Rewrite
|
|
|
|
Transform into: **"Product Planning with the BMAD Method"**
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
# 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)
|
|
|
|

|
|
[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:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
# 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
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
> **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.
