Data Management Fundamentals: DMBoK2 en CDMP

 

The DAMA DMBoK2 describes 11 disciplines of Data Management, with Data Governance being at the heart of all of these. As the critical importance of Data Management is further realized, organizations and information professionals are seeking to equip their employees with an internationally recognized professional qualification. The Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) qualification provides a pathway for the introductory level (Associate) through higher levels of attainment. Central to all of these is the Data Management Fundamentals (DMF) examination which  this course prepares students for.

Data management only works when the whole organization speaks the same language. The DAMA-DMBoK® is that language. Over three days we’ll take you through all 17 chapters of the DAMA-DMBoK® 2.0 (revised edition), the reference guide that ties data governance, data quality, data modeling, metadata, master data and the rest into one picture.

You’ll learn what each knowledge area covers, how they fit together, where they break down in practice, and how you can get started with them. You get the full picture the exam (and your job) asks for, chapter by chapter.

The course prepares you for the CDMP® exam (Data Management Fundamentals), the entry level of the Certified Data Management Professional®. The CDMP® proves to the market that you know the whole field, from governance to architecture. We close with practice questions, a study plan, and the route to the specialist exams.

This training is delivered by Mathias Vercauteren. CDMP®-certified, working for DAMA International® as Global Project Manager of the DAMA-DMBoK® 3.0, with 15+ years building governance and data management programs inside international organizations.
