Instead of generating all the story files at the start and loading them into Jira, each epic gets its own folder with an epic file that works as a spec, and each story is built when it is next, so changing course is easy. BMad also covers what else is changing in V7: big planning documents become folders of small, well-named files, sprint-planning.yaml goes away, and how teams split epics so they don't collide. With guest Tim Dickey. From the BMad Code livestream on October 16, 2026, with Tim Dickey.
