How-To Master Data

(Reference and Master Data)

Overview

The How-to Master Data Course covers all the Reference and Master Data aspects contained in the DMBOK V2 in detail, providing techniques for all the activities and templates for all the deliverables and in some cases the inputs.

This course is valuable for all Data Management Professionals as it is foundational and for anyone wanting to take the CDMP Reference and master Data Specialist exam.

It starts where all Master and Reference Data initiatives should start, with the business requirements.  It then follows the process of considering the architecture, the data models, and the evaluation of the data sources. 

Solution development is covered next, where obtaining the master data and the subsequent sharing brings it to a conclusion.
