FAQPage Schema
How do I manage sprint execution and closure reviews for an epic in BMad?

Epic execution in BMad is managed by orchestrating the sprint execution loop and delegating tasks to subagents while tracking story keys. The cycle concludes with retrospective, release review, and adversarial analysis to ensure quality before closure.

What is the best way to ensure all critical issues are resolved before epic closure?

To ensure critical issues are resolved before epic closure, perform comprehensive closure reviews including retrospectives, adversarial analysis, and security checks. This process verifies that all high-priority issues are addressed and validates overall project quality.

Do I need the BMad framework to run sprint planning and epic execution cycles?

Yes, the BMad framework is required to run epic execution cycles. The Skill depends on related BMad skills for sprint management, story generation, code reviews, and quality assurance testing to orchestrate the full lifecycle.

Can I automate project metrics estimation and tracking during sprint execution?

Yes, project metrics estimation and tracking are automated using AI-driven techniques during sprint execution. The orchestration loop delegates execution to subagents while the system manages and tracks key epic and story metrics.

What reviews are required to finalize an epic and validate project security?

Finalizing an epic requires retrospective, release review, adversarial analysis, and security redteam reviews. These reviews ensure quality assurance, validate security posture, and confirm all critical issues are resolved before closure.

How does the sprint execution loop handle story tracking without holding full context?

The sprint execution loop delegates execution to subagents while holding only epic and story keys. This architecture allows the orchestrator to manage the lifecycle efficiently without retaining full context for every individual story.
