A question was posed on my Mastodon instance this morning about combining the roles of Product Owner and Agile Lead (e.g. Scrum Master).

This is a guest post by Mike Griffiths. “Fun” and “PMP Exam” are rarely used in the same sentence. Too often, training materials are text-based, process-focused, and dry.

If you’re manufacturing anything, then you need to know what is a bill of materials, what is it used for and the types of bills of materials you’ll find in production.
