I’m a bit confused about the role of the CMDB; I thought it tracked both CIs and assets, but now I’m questioning if that’s correct.

I think I came across a similar question where it mentioned that the CMDB primarily focuses on CIs, so I’m leaning towards option B.

I think the answer is C - Integrated Business Planning (IBP). It's designed for supply chain forecasting and planning.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Is it the Development Team or the entire Scrum Team that decides on Sprint Backlog updates? I'll have to think this through carefully.

Wait, I'm a little confused. I thought estates and trusts were created differently. And the responsibilities of the personal rep and trustee - are they really that similar? I'll need to review my notes on this.

A) is intriguing, but I'm not sure I want my contract entitlements dictating what ends up in the CMDB. That's like letting my credit card company manage my closet.
