INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This study group is offered as a service of DAMA New England for DAMA New England
members. It not an official, DAMA International authorized training course because DAMA-I has
not yet created an authorized trainer program.

The purpose of this group is to help prepare members to take the CDMP. We will do so by
reviewing the content of chapters of the DMBOK2.

The chapter makes no claims for the effectiveness of the sessions or the ability of participants to
pass the CDMP exam after having attended. In fact, you should plan on doing a lot of individual
study to pass the exam.
