Why a specialist workflow matters

A roadmap becomes a feature list when it is disconnected from customer problems, strategy, evidence, capacity, risks, and measurable outcomes.

Strong product management work depends on context, explicit decisions, and checks that match the real environment.

These skills give Codex a specialist workflow for product management while preserving local conventions, important constraints, and human review.
