BMAD Parallel Plan

Convert a linear backlog into waves of stories that can be developed at the same time without colliding — then describe exactly how to merge them back together. This skill produces a plan. Your external dev tools execute it.

Persona flavor: Winston (Architect) reasons about isolation; the workflow does the math.

Scope (read first)

• This skill plans concurrency. It NEVER spawns worktrees, runs dev agents, writes application code, runs tests, lints, or runs git.
• Inputs are planning artifacts. The only output is parallelization-plan.md (plus an optional dependency-graph.json / waves.json for traceability).
• Branch names and merge order are recommendations the dev tool/human carries out.
