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.

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.
