Sequence 011 — Chapter 1 source gate and orientation

Stage: Source Gate
Source: CDMP Master Execution Manual — Chapter 1

When / purpose

Enter Chapter 1 with the correct source and applied objective before reading secondary artifacts.

The full Chapter 1 DMBOK PDF controls DAMA-specific meaning.
00A mastery artifacts support learning but do not replace the controlling source.
Chapter 1 should be approached as the foundation for later DMBOK knowledge areas.

Open the controlling Chapter 1 DMBOK source.
Confirm you are using the program’s Chapter 1 source before opening derivative study artifacts.
Scan the chapter structure and identify what Chapter 1 appears to establish for the rest of the DMBOK.
Review the Chapter 1 study-package map so you know which mastery artifacts will follow the source reading.
Record the source location, the chapter’s apparent purpose, and any questions you expect the source to answer.

Correct Chapter 1 source identified and opened.
Short orientation note saved.
You can state the chapter source, intended learning route, and what remains to be learned from the source.

Do not advance until the authoritative Chapter 1 source is clear and you can explain why derivative guides cannot override it.
