Breakthrough Method of Agile AI Driven Development — An AI-driven agile development module for the BMad Method Module Ecosystem, the best and most comprehensive Agile AI Driven Development framework that has true scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.

100% free and open source. No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay for a gated community or courses.

Why the BMad Method?

Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents and facilitated workflows act as expert collaborators who guide you through a structured process to bring out your best thinking in partnership with the AI.

• AI Intelligent Help — Ask /bmad-help anytime for guidance on what's next
• Scale-Domain-Adaptive — Automatically adjusts planning depth based on project complexity
• Structured Workflows — Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
• Specialized Agents — 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, Scrum Master, and more)
• Party Mode — Bring multiple agent personas into one session to collaborate and discuss
• Complete Lifecycle — From brainstorming to deployment
