# BMAD Method Documentation Architecture
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This document defines the comprehensive documentation architecture for the BMAD Method, supporting all personas and providing enhanced guidance for polyglot development scenarios.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture Principles
|
|
|
|
### 1. Persona-Centric Organization
|
|
- Documentation organized around the 8 core personas
|
|
- Clear navigation paths for each role
|
|
- Cross-persona integration points clearly defined
|
|
|
|
### 2. Technology Stack Agnostic
|
|
- Support for React, TypeScript, Node.js, ASP.NET, Python
|
|
- Platform-neutral guidance with technology-specific examples
|
|
- Consistent patterns across all technology stacks
|
|
|
|
### 3. Hierarchical Structure
|
|
- Clear information hierarchy from overview to detailed implementation
|
|
- Progressive disclosure of complexity
|
|
- Logical grouping of related concepts
|
|
|
|
### 4. Cross-Reference Integration
|
|
- Bidirectional linking between related documents
|
|
- Dependency mapping between personas and tasks
|
|
- Integration point documentation
|
|
|
|

## Navigation System
|
|
|
|
### Primary Navigation Paths
|
|
|
|
1. **By Persona**: Users can navigate directly to their role-specific documentation
|
|
2. **By Technology**: Users can find guidance specific to their technology stack
|
|
3. **By Process**: Users can follow workflow-based navigation
|
|
4. **By Task**: Users can find specific task-oriented guidance
|
|
|
|
### Cross-Reference System
|
|
|
|
- **Bidirectional Links**: Every document includes links to related documents
|
|
- **Dependency Mapping**: Clear indication of prerequisites and dependencies
|
|
- **Integration Points**: Explicit documentation of persona collaboration points
|
|
- **Technology Mapping**: Clear indication of technology-specific guidance
|
|
|
|
## Search and Discovery
|
|
|
|
### Metadata Structure
|
|
|
|
Each document includes standardized metadata:
|
|
|
|
\```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: Document Title
|
|
persona: [primary-persona, secondary-personas]
|
|
technology: [react, typescript, nodejs, aspnet, python]
|
|
complexity: [beginner, intermediate, advanced]
|
|
type: [guide, template, checklist, example]
|
|
dependencies: [list-of-dependencies]
|
|
related: [list-of-related-documents]
|
|
last_updated: YYYY-MM-DD
|
|
version: X.Y.Z
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Search Capabilities
|
|
|
|
- **Full-text search** across all documentation
|
|
- **Filtered search** by persona, technology, complexity
|
|
- **Tag-based discovery** using metadata
|
|
- **Workflow-based navigation** following process flows
|
|
|
|
## Quality Assurance Integration
|
|
|
|
### Documentation Standards
|
|
|
|
- **Consistency Validation**: Automated checks for formatting and structure
|
|
- **Link Validation**: Automated verification of all internal and external links
|
|
- **Metadata Validation**: Verification of required metadata fields
|
|
- **Cross-Reference Validation**: Verification of bidirectional links
|
|
|
|
### Review Process
|
|
|
|
- **Persona Expert Review**: Each document reviewed by relevant persona experts
|
|
- **Technical Accuracy Review**: Technology-specific validation
|
|
- **Integration Review**: Validation of cross-persona integration points
|
|
- **User Experience Review**: Navigation and usability validation
|
|
|
|
## Version Control Integration
|
|
|
|
### Change Management
|
|
|
|
- **Semantic Versioning**: Major.Minor.Patch versioning for all documents
|
|
- **Change Tracking**: Clear documentation of changes and their impact
|
|
- **Backward Compatibility**: Maintenance of deprecated content with migration paths
|
|
- **Release Notes**: Comprehensive change documentation
|
|
|
|
### Collaboration Workflow
|
|
|
|
- **Branch-based Development**: Feature branches for documentation updates
|
|
- **Review Process**: Pull request-based review and approval
|
|
- **Automated Testing**: CI/CD integration for quality validation
|
|
- **Deployment Pipeline**: Automated publication of approved changes
|
|
|
|
