• Winning tip – “If you’re not already getting data to track volumes, do so ASAP. It’ll take time to establish but it means that when you NEED it, you’ve already got it setup with historical data. Otherwise your projects could be delayed by weeks or months. But remember to always question said data, where does it come from? What does X mean?” thanks to Jake8
