PERSONACLASS FILE

The Product Manager

Internal customers. Real roadmaps.

You run GRC as a product, not a project. Engineers, auditors, and execs are your customers, and you obsess over whether they actually use what you ship. You maintain a roadmap, kill features nobody adopts, and treat buy-in as a design problem rather than a memo. Compliance that ships without users is just paperwork with a deadline.
