Data Architect Certified!

So... I'm one of the many folks (far too many) who've hit by layouts and role reductions recently.

In talking with various recruiters, they all seem to put a lot of value, at least to get passed an initial screening, on certifications... and so, I decided to finally look up what it takes to get the Data Architect certification.

I bought the FocusOnForce course and went though the Trailhead Trailmix, which is really just a lot of things to read -- not much to do "hands on" in an org. I spent time on and off for week reading on the two sites, decided to take the test today and passed!

I only flubbed on part, Data Migration, so need to go back see what that was all about... I did pretty good on the FoF Data Migration questions.

Topic Percentage Correct
Data Modeling/Database Design 80%
Master Data Management 100%
Salesforce Data Management 91%
Data Governance 87%
Large Data Volume Considerations 100%
Data Migration 55%

All the question were "pick only one answer", which was nice.

The questions felt very different than FoF practice ones, but the slides there must have still done the trick for me to pass.

Sharing and Visibility.... is next I guess.
