CP-C study guide
CP-C · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
CP-C is listed in the exam catalogue under the alias "CP-C (The Open Group)", which places it with the certification programmes run by The Open Group, the vendor-neutral standards consortium whose public site describes its certification portfolio as providing "worldwide professional credentials for knowledge, skills, and experience" across enterprise architecture and IT specialisation. The Open Group's own navigation groups its knowledge-based credentials by discipline - the TOGAF® certification portfolio for enterprise architecture, ArchiMate® for modelling language, Open Agile Architecture™, Open FAIR™ for risk analysis, the Digital Practitioner (DPBoK™) credential and IT4IT™ for managing digital products - and CP-C is presented to candidates in that same knowledge-based family. The CP-C study guide has 4 sections and about 1,557 words.
