BMAD-METHOD is an open-source framework and methodology for Agile AI-driven development, providing structured agents and workflows that turn ideas or change requests into working software. It is installed via npm into a project and used with AI coding tools to make planning, architecture, and development decisions explicit and durable.

Use cases

• run agile ai driven development workflows
• turn an idea into working software with ai agents
• add structured planning to ai coding assistants
• onboard ai agents onto an existing codebase
• keep product and architecture decisions as durable context
• get specialized product, ux, and architecture perspectives from ai agents

When to choose

• you want a structured, agile process around AI coding tools rather than ad-hoc prompting
• you need planning artifacts like briefs, specs, and architecture docs carried across sessions
• you work on both small changes and large initiatives and want right-sized process
• you want an open-source, community-driven AI development methodology

When to avoid

• you just want a simple code autocomplete assistant without workflow overhead
• your team already has an established delivery process you don't want to change
• you need a fully autonomous agent that ships code without human decisions
• you can't install Node.js 20+ and Python 3.10+ tooling
