 ## Common Questions
 
 **Do I always need architecture?**
 Only for BMad Method and Enterprise tracks. Quick Flow skips from tech-spec to implementation.
 
 **Can I change my plan later?**
-Yes. The SM agent has a `correct-course` workflow (`/bmad-bmm-correct-course`) for handling scope changes.
+Yes. The SM agent has a `correct-course` workflow for handling scope changes.
 
 **What if I want to brainstorm first?**
