Collaborate with other product teams to improve cross-product service correlation and enable faster root cause analysis
Develop a deep understanding of APM customer needs, use cases, and thepetitive landscape
Partner with marketing, sales, support, and customer success to shape and execute go-to-market strategies for new APM features
