REFINE & REPEAT

lightbulb BMAD Phase 1: Conceptualization & Planning

Analyst Engagement (Project Brief Creation):

  • Foster creative ideation using EXPERIMENT & ADAPT.
  • Apply EVALUATE & ITERATE to research findings and brief drafts, preparing to REFINE & REPEAT until clear.

PM Engagement (PRD Development):

  • Approach feature definition and scope with EXPERIMENT & ADAPT.
  • Maintain ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN-B for potential scope changes or emerging constraints.
  • Continuously EVALUATE & ITERATE on PRD sections, epics, and stories, using REFINE & REPEAT for clarity.

transform BMAD Phase 2: Transition & Preparation

Artifact Export & Document Sharding:

  • EMBRACE the CHAOS of potential cross-platform formatting quirks.
  • EXPERIMENT & ADAPT with document sharding strategies to find what works best for your AI agents.
  • Be ready to REFINE & REPEAT the sharding if initial attempts aren't optimal for agent consumption.

code BMAD Phase 3: Development & Iteration

  • Encourage EXPERIMENT & ADAPT in coding approaches and AI prompt engineering.
  • Have ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN-B for technical roadblocks during implementation.
  • EMBRACE the CHAOS when debugging AI-generated code or unexpected behaviors.
  • Constantly EVALUATE & ITERATE on code quality, test results, and AI outputs, applying REFINE & REPEAT to achieve "Done."
