Agent Orchestration vs. Agent Management: Key Differences

Agent orchestration coordinates the real-time flow of individual tasks by determining agent routing, sequencing, context handoffs, and human approvals, while agent management governs agents as persistent assets through provisioning, permissions, versioning, monitoring, and retirement decisions. Orchestration focuses on what should happen next for a work item, whereas management evaluates whether an agent is authorized, properly configured, and valuable over time; lacking either can result in isolated agents with poor handoffs or governed agents that still require manual coordination. Warp Factories presents these as complementary layers, using a foreman-and-subagent model for workflow orchestration and factory-as-code with a control room for auditable configuration and performance measurement across cost, quality, and throughput. The recommended starting point is to establish one explicit workflow handoff or document and regularly review an agent’s permitted access, with the expectation that most teams will eventually require both capabilities.
