When to Use Advanced Patterns

Use these patterns when:

  • You’ve completed the 30-min and 2-hour challenges

  • Your project has 3+ external integrations

  • You need background processing or scheduled jobs

  • You’re building complex state machines

  • You need advanced error recovery strategies

Don’t use these yet if:

  • You haven’t completed the basic challenges

  • Your project is straightforward (1-2 APIs, simple flows)

  • You’re still learning the 5-Round methodology

  • You’re building your first AI-assisted project

The 5-Round Planning Method works for both simple and complex projects. The difference is in execution, not planning.
