*This system overview provides the foundation for understanding the BMAD platform architecture and its key components.*
**Story 2.2 Progress Update:**
- ✅ Created `docs/system-architecture/README.md` - Architecture documentation overview
- ✅ Created `docs/system-architecture/system-overview.md` - High-level system architecture
- 🔄 **In Progress**: Need to create remaining architecture documents
**Story 2.2 Status**: 25% complete (2/8 points)
Should I continue with the remaining architecture documents (component-architecture.md, data-flow-diagrams.md, integration-architecture.md, deployment-architecture.md) to complete Story 2.2?
