Agile Ai Driven Development — turn an idea or change request into working software without giving up the thinking.
Ai Driven Development (AiDD) covers the whole effort, not only the code: what to build, how it holds together, and how it changes as you learn. BMad Method is the agile way to do it — decisions stay explicit, context carries forward, and the process sizes itself to the work. Small changes go straight to build. Complex work gets the depth it needs. The same method covers a weekend prototype and a system with years of history behind it.
Start anywhere. Use BMad end to end, or carry its briefs, specifications, and architecture into your existing delivery workflow.
Prerequisites: Node.js 20.12+, Python 3.10+, and uv
npx bmad-method installOpen your project in your AI coding tool, invoke bmad-build with what you want to change, and keep making the decisions that matter. Run bmad-help whenever you want guidance on what comes next or what is optional.

BMad is free and open source, with no paywalled workflows or gated community. For installation prerequisites, updates, prerelease builds, and the installer's live automation help, see the installation guide.
Coding assistants are effective at implementation, but they often turn unstated assumptions into code. BMad keeps you in control while its agents and workflows make the important decisions explicit and preserve them as context for the work that follows.
- Right-sized process — Go directly to implementation for clear changes or add deeper planning for larger initiatives.
- New or existing code — Start from nothing, or establish verified context on a codebase you inherited and work from what is actually there.
- Durable context — Carry product and technical decisions forward instead of re-explaining them in every chat.
- Specialized perspectives — Bring in product, architecture, UX, development, and testing expertise when it helps.
- Guided collaboration — Use structured workflows and multiple-agent discussions without handing over judgment.
- One delivery path — Move from early thinking through reviewed implementation, correction, and learning.
