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

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!

Important: Keep Your BMad Installation Updated

Stay up-to-date effortlessly! If you already have BMAD-METHOD™ installed in your project, simply run:

npx bmad-method install
# OR
git pull
npm run install:bmad

This will:

✅ Automatically detect your existing v4 installation
✅ Update only the files that have changed and add new files
✅ Create .bak backup files for any custom modifications you've made
✅ Preserve your project-specific configurations

This makes it easy to benefit from the latest improvements, bug fixes, and new agents without losing your customizations!

Quick Start

One Command for Everything (IDE Installation)

Just run one of these commands:

npx bmad-method install
# OR if you already have BMad installed:
git pull
npm run install:bmad

This single command handles:

New installations - Sets up BMad in your project
Upgrades - Updates existing installations automatically
Expansion packs - Installs any expansion packs you've added to package.json

That's it! Whether you're installing for the first time, upgrading, or adding expansion packs - these commands do everything.

Prerequisites: Node.js v20+ required

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 *help to see available commands or pick an agent like *analyst to 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 move 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

Alternative: Clone and Build

git clone https://github.com/bmadcode/bmad-method.git
npm run install:bmad # build and install all to a destination folder

🌟 Beyond Software Development - Expansion Packs

BMAD™'s natural language framework works in ANY domain. Expansion packs provide specialized AI agents for creative writing, business strategy, health & wellness, education, and more. Also expansion packs can expand the core BMAD-METHOD™ with specific functionality that is not generic for all cases. See the Expansion Packs Guide and learn to create your own!
