Sequence 223 — Certification and employer-target gate
Context: Career Data Governance Platform Specialization | Career Platform
Source: CDMP Master Execution Manual
When / purpose
Turn platform study into a career plan without collecting unrelated certifications.
What you should learn
- CDMP remains the core vendor-neutral credential.
- DP-900 is a recommended foundation/optional exam.
- Collibra Data Steward is optional high-alignment if access/eligibility permits.
- Informatica CDGC is employer-driven.
- SC-401 is not core; SC-400 is retired; DP-600 is analytics engineering.
Do this in order
- Review the certification decision table.
- Create a one-page “take / study-only / later / do not prioritize” list.
- Add target-role keywords you will monitor.
- Define the evidence needed before claiming Purview proficiency.
