Industry Expert Christina Noren to discuss the benefits of combining support and product management in the product enhancement loop.
Montreal, Quebec – March 30, 2007 – FeaturePlan, requirements management software for Product Management, and co-sponsor of the community blog The Product Management View, today announced the next in a series of ongoing Webinars entitled entitled “Leveraging Support in Product Management” on April 4, 2007. Guest speaker Christina Noren, Vice President of Product Management & Support at Splunk Inc, will discuss the benefits of combining support and product management in the product enhancement loop.
This Webinar will address how following the unconventional model of a combined team of product management and support results in organizations being able to leverage more granular customer feedback into the product faster, ensure that customers are engaged in the design process, and close the loop with customers as new features are available to resolve longstanding issues. Christina will use Splunk Inc. as a case study to describe this business model, and will discuss some specific examples of features that came out of this approach.
