I saw your technical course for PMs. I’m a data PM and work primarily with databricks and alation. Will your course help me better understand data as a whole as well?
It's intended as an introduction level course, so if you're already familiar with APIS, git, system design, and SQL basics, it probably won't be valuable for you
Would you say the distinction between event data and operational data is that:
- event data is any interaction within an experience (e.g., any steps they take in their journey to understand usage paths), and
- operational data is the end result we want to the customer to achieve (i.e. how many customers got to x point and we can use event data to help understand operational data?)

Appreciate the clarification!
Sorry for the late response!
They have different sources
. Event data is collected as a result of user interactions by a system outside of your main product, like Posthog or Pendo.
Operational data is collected to power your app, like submitting a new post on LinkedIn.
Agreed that both are helpful in getting full context on what users are doing!
