Builder Scrums & Builder Virtual Office Hours

While primarily intended to facilitate the allocation to and tracking of build tasks, regularly scheduled "scrums" also facilitate linking builders to other builders and analysts for mentoring, support and shared learning. 

All builders should consider attending and make this possible by registering for event communications:

• Builder Scrum Registration and Builder VOH is done via email

• Support: ConnectCare.BuilderProgram@albertahealthservices.ca
