    Simran Biswal's questions to PagerDuty Inc (PD) leadership • Q3 2025

    Question

    Simran Biswal, on for Matt Hedberg, asked about business trends so far in Q4, expected linearity, and the risk of deals being pushed. She also inquired about the typical customer journey for large deals.

    Answer

    CFO Howard Wilson stated that as the company has shifted to Enterprise, linearity has become more back-end loaded, though they aim to close half the business in the first two months. He doesn't expect unusual linearity in Q4 but noted holidays can affect timing. CEO Jennifer Tejada explained the large deal journey varies; it's rarely a large land but rather an expansion. The new solution-selling approach starts the conversation with the full platform, and the pace is set by the customer.
