Use Case - Apply Digital Website Redesign

Type: End-to-End Scenario
Audience: All — this use case connects every tutorial in the series
Time: Use as a reference throughout the full training path
Scenario: A complete BMAD delivery workflow for a real-world website redesign


This document provides a single, continuous scenario that runs through every tutorial in the series. Rather than isolated exercises, you’ll be working on one real engagement from start to finish — a website redesign for Apply Digital.

Each tutorial asks you to play a different role on the engagement team (strategist, product manager, engineer, QA lead) and produce a real BMAD artifact. By the end, you’ll have a complete set of delivery documents — from project brief through to test plan — all built using AI agents.

  • Before each tutorial: Each tutorial has its own “Apply Digital Use Case” section with the specific prompts and decisions for that stage — feel free to follow these as prompt instructions or get creative on how you engage BMAD agents with your own prompts to see the results.
  • After each tutorial: Documents should be saved automatically to your _bmad-output folder.
  • Throughout the series: Refer back to this file for the overall scenario, project background, and the “Key Specifics” table whenever you need project context.

As you work through each tutorial, you’ll play different roles on the engagement team — from Product Manager to Engineer to QA Lead — and produce a complete set of BMAD artifacts along the way.


Apply Digital’s website serves three primary audiences:

  1. Prospective clients — enterprise businesses evaluating Apply Digital as a delivery partner
  2. Prospective hires — senior engineers, designers, and strategists researching the company
  3. Existing clients and partners — looking for case studies, contacts, and news

The project: Redesign of the Apply Digital corporate website (applydigital.com). The client: Apply Digital — a global digital consultancy that helps clients modernize their digital experiences. The website is the company’s primary sales and brand asset, but it hasn’t had a significant refresh in several years. The marketing and growth team has flagged it as a conversion bottleneck. The project has been scoped at a high level:

  • Phase 1 (this engagement): Full redesign of the core website — homepage, services, case studies, about, careers, and contact
  • Budget: $500K for phase 1
  • Timeline: 6 months to launch
  • Stack: Headless CMS (TBD between Contentful and Sanity), Next.js frontend, Vercel hosting
  • Team: Apply Digital’s delivery team in collaboration with key stakeholders in Marketing and the Executive Leadership Team
