Meeting/Event Information

DAMA Philadelphia will be running bi-monthly CDMP study and discussion sessions.  These sessions should help participants prepare for taking the CDMP Fundamental and Specialist exams and are also useful to those who want to understand more about the Data Management subjects but are not planning on taking any exams.

On April 1st we’ll have one session covering Data Architecture from the DMBoK.  This subject is included in the CDMP Fundamentals exam but there is no Specialist exam in this area yet.

Check into additional information on the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) accreditation CDMP - Certified Data Management Professionals

As with all the study sessions in the series, this event will be interactive among the participants.

Areas to be covered:

•          Definitions and Goals
•          Data Architecture Levels
•          Architecture Frameworks

•          Information Lifecycle and System Development Lifecycle
•          Organization and Culture
•          Relationships with other areas

•         Review of example CDMP questions

Those studying with us should obtain a copy of the revised DAMA Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBoK) 2nd edition (revised in 2024) and should read the Data Architecture chapter prior to the study session to get the most benefit.  https://technicspub.com/dmbok2/
