CMDB foundations questions

[YoussefB9120071]

Good day all,

while finished the SNAF foundations and almost finishing the ITSM foundations. I was thinking is it good to do CMDB foundations or keeping exploring other functionals module (HR, CS...)

CMDB foundations the name look easy but it is 17 hours course. 

what are your thoughts?  what is best path?  my background is BA working toward either a BPC or Implemeter in the future 

Thank you all.

Hi @YoussefB9120071 

I already replied to you about the BPC pathway, and you can follow that. There is a dedicated journey in Now Learning. The 2nd CMDB/CSDM is foundation is now , meaning you can  start that . 

You can take the Now Learning courses and also follow my course as guidance.

Thank you both you have been great help on sharing your feedback. I am in career transition and there  a lot of info to digest in the SN ecosystem. I don't want to rush to any career path yet but I loved so far the foundations courses they are very structure with lab  guided instructions. from my digging so far i found that SNAF and ITSM are good start ( must know) the next step I am leaning more toward 2 path either data foundations courses or another module like HR or Customer service foundations. I would love to do the 3 of them but need to choose one path. Happy Friday all.
