ProjectManager.com

In construction, there’s so much that takes place before the build begins. First, there’s a site analysis to put the building in context.

What do you tell people on tips to pass this thing? Greg: Well, first off, the Scrum Guide is your friend and you've got to study, but I know that's oversimplified.
