Agentic AI Deployments Need a Control Plane, Not Just a Policy: Dynatrace 90-Day Governance Framework

Dynatrace released Building trust in agentic AI: an observability-led 90-day action plan, a structured implementation guide that translates the abstract governance principles surrounding autonomous AI agents into concrete technical controls. The plan is organized in three phases across 90 days, beginning with establishing a baseline observability layer that captures logs, metrics, distributed traces, and contextual metadata for every agent and data pathway in scope. Subsequent phases introduce explicit decision boundaries that constrain what actions agents may take autonomously, and human approval gates that must be satisfied before agents are permitted to escalate authority or expand their operational footprint. The guidance applies globally and is framed for enterprise environments where multiple agents interact, delegate tasks, and operate across interconnected systems without consistent human supervision at the point of execution.
