📋 Workflows
Four-phase methodology adapting to project complexity:
1. Analysis (Optional)
brainstorm-project- Project ideationresearch- Market/technical researchproduct-brief- Product strategy
2. Planning (Required)
prd- Scale-adaptive planning- Routes to appropriate documentation level
3. Solutioning (Level 3-4)
architecture- System designtech-spec- Epic technical specifications
4. Implementation (Iterative)
create-story- Draft storiesstory-context- Inject expertisedev-story- Implementcode-review- Validate quality
👥 Teams
Pre-configured agent groups for coordinated complex tasks.
📝 Tasks

Scale Levels
BMM automatically adapts complexity:
| Level | Stories | Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Single change | Minimal |
| 1 | 1-10 | Light PRD |
| 2 | 5-15 | Focused PRD |
| 3 | 12-40 | Full architecture |
| 4 | 40+ | Enterprise scale |
Story Lifecycle
Four-state machine tracked in status file:
BACKLOG → TODO → IN PROGRESS → DONE
- BACKLOG - Ordered stories to draft
- TODO - Ready for SM drafting
- IN PROGRESS - Approved for DEV
- DONE - Completed with metrics
Just-In-Time Design
Technical specifications created per epic during implementation, enabling learning and adaptation.
Context Injection
Dynamic technical guidance generated for each story, providing exact expertise when needed.
Best Practices
- Start with workflows - Let process guide you
- Respect scale - Don't over-document small projects
- Trust the process - Methodology carefully designed
- Use status file - Single source of truth for stories
