Description
This case study presentation walks you through the challenges, best practices, lessons learned, and benefits/metrics of the Sutter Medical Center Castro Valley project.

* Discuss the challenges the team encountered and how they were overcome. * State the pros and cons of this approach and how it can be replicated for future projects.
