In this episode, Hal and Burch talk with the ever so ebullient Jenna Eagle, an IT Ops Strategist at Splunk. She’s working on some super interesting stuff in the world of o11y (that’s short for observability for those not yet in the know) and we thought you might agree. So, please do join us and listen, or watch, or…smell? No--forget that last one. Bad idea.

Connecting customers back to product management is no easy feat for a growing company. Fortunately, Splunk has Jeff Champagne in place as the Director of Field Product Management (PM) to solve that challenge. In this episode your hosts, Hal and Burch, learn all about roadmaps, advisory boards, compliance and all the things necessary to bridge between the field and product management. Plus a silly amount of name dropping and shout outs.
