# Zach Stauber on the Agent Manager routine

## Quote — Zach Stauber on the Agent Manager routine

> "Data, Data, Data. I start and end my day in dashboards, scorecards, and agent observability monitoring."
> — [[entity-zach-stauber]], Salesforce support agent manager (¶1)

**Why it matters:** Concretizes the observability-centric daily reality of the [[concept-agent-manager]] and directly illustrates responsibility #1 (performance monitoring) in [[framework-ai-orchestration-responsibilities]]. It reframes 'managing AI' as data-driven operations, not one-time configuration.
