Product Management defines<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><em>what</em>&nbsp;to ship; you define<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><em>how</em>&nbsp;it gets built, and at OPSWAT, "how" increasingly means humans directing AI agents, with humans accountable for every line that ships.</span></p> <p class="x_font-claude-response-body">The patterns you establish on My OPSWAT won't stay on My OPSWAT.
