A is definitely wrong; contracts don't dictate CMDB storage.

I think B is misleading; assets can be CIs sometimes.

Wait, so some assets aren't tracked as CIs? That seems odd.

CIs are stored in the CMDB, but not all assets are CIs.

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 feel like option C makes the most sense because it acknowledges that some assets can be CIs, but not all of them.

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.

Hmm, looks like we've got some creative thinkers here. Just remember, the CMDB isn't a black hole - it's a carefully curated collection of your most important assets.
