我从未看过荒原写作背景
重点 (Top highlight)
**Update 8/15: it’s recently come to my attention that the certification exams are open book, which is extremely exciting because it means less time memorizing and more time working with data in a real world setting. Also, I am starting a study group on Facebook — join for help with your exam prep.**
** Update 8/15 ：最近引起我注意的是，认证考试是一本 公开的书 ，这非常令人兴奋，因为它意味着更少的时间记忆和更多的时间在真实环境中处理数据。 另外，我正在 Facebook上成立 一个 研究小组 —加入考试准备中的帮助。**
Eight years ago, data science was proclaimed “the sexiest job of the 21st century.” Yet plodding through hours of data munging still feels decidedly unsexy. If anything, the storied rise of the data science career has illustrated just how poorly most organizations are doing when it comes to managing their data.
八年前，数据科学被誉为“ 21世纪最性感的工作”。 然而，经过数小时的数据处理，仍然感觉绝对不 性感 。 如果有的话，数据科学事业的传奇般的崛起说明了大多数组织在管理数据方面做得多么糟糕。
Enter the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) from Data Management Association International (DAMA). The CDMP is the best data strategy certification you’ve never heard of. (And honestly, when you consider the fact that you’re probably working a job that didn’t exist ten years ago, it’s not surprising that this certification isn’t widespread just yet.)
输入认证的数据管理专业人员( CDMP从数据管理协会国际)( DAMA )。 CDMP是您从未听说过的最佳数据策略认证。 (说实话，当您考虑到自己从事的工作可能是十年前不存在的事实时，这种认证还没有广泛传播就不足为奇了。)
Data strategy is a crucial discipline that spans end-to-end management of the data lifecycle as well as associated aspects of data governance and key considerations of data ethics.
数据策略是一门至关重要的学科，它涵盖了数据生命周期的端到端管理以及数据治理的相关方面以及数据伦理的关键考虑因素。
This article outlines the hows and whys of getting the CDMP, which lays the groundwork for effective thought leadership on data strategy. It also includes a survey — you can offer your thoughts on the most important aspects of data management for data science and check out the consensus of the community.
本文概述了获取CDMP的方式和原因 ，这为有效地领导数据策略思想奠定了基础。 它还包括一项调查-您可以就数据科学中数据管理最重要的方面提出您的想法，并查看社区的共识。

关于CDMP考试 (About the CDMP Exam)
Training for the CDMP confers expertise across 14 areas related to data strategy (which I’ll cover in more detail in a later section). The test is open book, but the 100 questions on the exam must be completed within 90 minutes — not a lot of time to be looking things up. Therefore, it’s important to be extremely familiar with the reference material.
CDMP培训将赋予与数据策略相关的14个领域的专业知识(我将在下一部分中对其进行详细介绍)。 该考试是公开考试，但考试中的100个问题必须在90分钟内完成-查起来的时间不多。 因此，非常熟悉参考资料很重要 。
When you schedule the exam ($300), DAMA provides 40 practice questions that are pretty reflective of the difficulty of the actual exam. As a further resource, check out this article about the process of studying for a certification.
当您安排考试(300美元)时，DAMA提供了40个练习题，完全可以反映实际考试的难度。 作为进一步的资源， 请查阅有关认证学习过程的本文 。
It’s possible to sit for the exam online while monitored via webcam ($11 proctoring fee). The format of the exam is multiple choice — either 5 options or T/F. You can mark questions and come back to them. At the conclusion of test taking, you get immediate feedback on your score.
可以在线参加考试，同时通过网络摄像头进行监控(收取11美元的手续费)。 考试形式为多项选择-5种选择或T / F。 您可以标记问题，然后再返回。 考试结束时，您会立即获得有关分数的反馈。
Anything over 60% is considered passing. This is just fine if you’re interested in getting your CDMP Associate certification and moving along. If you’re interested in the advanced tiers of CDMP certification, you’ll have to pass with a 70% (CDMP Practitioner) or 80% (CDMP Master). To get certified at the highest level, CDMP Fellow, you’ll need to attain the Master Certification and also demonstrate industry experience and contribution to the field. Each of these advanced certifications also require passing two Specialist exams.
超过60％的都被视为通过 。 如果您有兴趣获得CDMP协会认证并继续前进，那很好。 如果您对CDMP认证的高级层感兴趣，则必须通过70％(CDMP从业者)或80％(CDMP Master)。 要获得最高级别的CDMP研究员认证，您需要获得Master认证，还需要证明行业经验和对该领域的贡献。 这些高级认证中的每一个都还需要通过两次专家考试 。
This brings me to my final point, which is about why — purely from a career advancement standpoint — you should chose to put yourself through the studying and exam taking process for CDMP: certification from DAMA is associated with high-end positions in leadership, management, and data architecture. (Think of CDMP as getting credentialed into a semi-secret society of data ninjas.) Increasingly, enterprise roles and federal contracts related to data management are requesting CDMP certification.

这将我带到了最后一点，这就是为什么-从职业发展的角度出发-您应该选择通过CDMP的学习和考试过程：DAMA的认证与领导，管理的高端职位相关联，以及数据架构。 (认为CDMP已成为进入数据忍者半秘密社会的凭证。)越来越多的企业角色和与数据管理相关的联邦合同正在要求CDMP认证。 阅读更多 。

如何准备CDMP (How to prepare for CDMP)
Given that CDMP is an open book test, to study for the exam, all that’s needed is the DAMA Body of Knowledge book (DMBOK $55). It’s around 600 pages, but if you mainly focus your study time on Chapter 1 (Data Management), diagrams & schemas, roles & responsibilities, and definitions, then this should get you 80% of the way toward a passing score.
鉴于CDMP是公开考试，要学习考试，只需要DAMA知识体系书( DMBOK， 55美元)。 它大约有600页 ，但是如果您主要将学习时间集中在第1章(数据管理)，图表和模式，角色和职责以及定义上，那么这将使您获得80分的分数。
In terms of how to use DMBOK, one test taker recommended 4–6 hours per weekend for 8–10 weeks. Another approach could be reading a couple pages each morning and evening. However you tackle it, make sure you’re incorporating spaced repetition into your studying methodology.
在如何使用DMBOK方面 ，一位应试者建议每个周末4-6小时，持续8-10周。 另一种方法是每天早晨和晚上阅读几页。 无论您如何解决，请确保将间隔重复纳入您的学习方法中。
In addition to being your study guide for the exam, the DMBOK is of course useful as reference book, and you can drop it on your colleague’s desk if they need to learn data strategy or if they’ve nodded off during a webinar.
除了作为考试的学习指南之外， DMBOK当然也可以作为参考书，如果您的同事需要学习数据策略或在网络研讨会期间点了点头，您可以将其放在同事的桌子上。

调查 (Survey)
Out of curiosity, I’d love to hear your thoughts about the most important aspect of data management. After you make your selection in the poll below, you’ll see what the community thinks as well.
出于好奇，我很想听听您对数据管理最重要方面的想法 。 在下面的民意调查中做出选择后，您还将看到社区的想法。
What considerations drove your choice? Do you think studying for CDMP is an effective way to learn these topics? Let’s talk in the comments.
哪些因素促使您选择？ 您认为学习CDMP是学习这些主题的有效方法吗？ 让我们在评论中谈谈。
为什么数据科学家应该获得CDMP认证 (Why data scientists should get CDMP certified)
Still not convinced why data strategy is important? Let’s take a look from the perspective of a data scientist aiming to increase their knowledge and earning potential.
仍然不确定为什么数据策略很重要？ 让我们从旨在增加他们的知识和创收潜力的数据科学家的角度来看一下。
It’s been said that a data scientist sits at the nexus of statistics, computer science, and domain knowledge. Why would you want to add one more thing to your plate?
有人说数据科学家坐在统计，计算机科学和领域知识之间。 您为什么要在盘子里再添加一件事？
Successwise, you’re better off being good at two complementary skills than being excellent at one
成功地，与拥有一项相辅相成的技能相比，您最好拥有两项相辅相成的技能
Scott Adams, author and creator of the Dilbert comics, offers the idea that “every skill you acquire doubles your odds of success.” He acknowledges this may be somewhat of an oversimplification — “obviously some skills are more valuable than others, and the twelfth skill you acquire might have less value than each of the first eleven” — but the point is that sometimes it’s better to go wide than to go deep.
迪尔伯特漫画的作者和创作者斯科特·亚当斯 ( Scott Adams) 提出这样的想法 ：“您获得的每一项技能都会使成功几率翻倍。” 他承认这可能是过于简单化了几分的- “明显有些技能是比其他人更有价值，第十二技能，你获得可能具有彼此前十的价值不大” -但问题是，有时， 最好 去宽比去深入。
Setting aside the relative magnitude of the benefit (because I seriously doubt it’s 2x per skill… thank you, law of diminishing marginal returns), it seems unquestionable that broadening your skillset can lead to more significant gains relative to toiling away at learning one specific skills. In a nutshell, this is why I think it’s important for a data scientist to learn data strategy.
抛开收益的相对幅度(因为我非常怀疑每项技能是2倍……谢谢，边际收益递减的规律)，相对于辛苦学习一种特定技能，扩大技能范围似乎可以带来更大的收益，这是毫无疑问的。 简而言之，这就是为什么我认为对于数据科学家来说学习数据策略很重要。
Generally speaking, having diversity in your skillset allows you to:
一般来说， 技能组合的多样性可以使您：
Problem solve more effectively by drawing on cross-disciplinary learnings
通过跨学科学习，更有效地解决问题
Communicate better with your teammates from other specialties
与其他专业的队友更好地沟通
Get your foot in the door in terms of gaining access to new projects
进入新项目方面， 踏上大门
Understanding data strategy transforms you from being a data consumer into an empowered data advocate at your organization. It’s worth putting up with all the tongue twister acronyms (DMBOK — really? Couldn’t they have just called it The Data Management Book?) in order to deepen your appreciation for the end-to-end knowledge generating process.
了解数据策略可以使您从成为数据使用者转变为组织中的授权数据拥护者 。 为了加深您对端到端知识生成过程的理解，值得使用所有绕口令的缩写( DMBOK-真的吗？他们难道就没有将其称为“数据管理书”吗？ ) 。
