Manage specifications
How manage specifications are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Manage specifications is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: With no child occupations seeded, the score relies entirely on the APQC Lens 'Govern and manage product/service development program' and the process description. Directing and controlling product and service details and applying 'critical analysis' point strongly to knowledge-based information transformation, coordination, and documentation. Managing specifications is inherently desk work, placing it firmly in the digital band.
