Sequence 213 — DP-900 foundation decision

Context: Career Data Governance Platform Specialization | Career Platform
Source: CDMP Master Execution Manual

When / purpose

Decide whether you need Microsoft cloud-data vocabulary before Purview.

What you should learn

  • DP-900 is beginner cloud-data context, not a Data Engineering commitment.
  • The certification itself is optional; the knowledge can be sufficient.
  • Focus on relational, non-relational and analytics concepts at fundamentals depth.

What to read / study

Use the current Data Governance Platform Career Evaluation and your Career Data Governance Platforms folder. Keep the current 2026 decision boundaries and do not substitute retired/out-of-scope certification paths.

Do this in order

  1. Review the DP-900 decision in the evaluation.
  2. Choose study-only or study+exam.
  3. Record the modules you will use from your selected learning resource.

Meridian application

Translate existing Meridian governance/metadata designs into platform concepts rather than rebuilding the company inside a vendor.
