Milestones
Week 2: You can create a new security group with application authorizations and data restrictions from memory and prove it works with two test users
Week 4: You can take a preventive maintenance record from definition through generated work orders without referencing notes
Week 6: You can explain how cron tasks, escalations, and communication templates interact to automate a business process
Week 8: You score at or above your target on a timed practice set and can list the administrative settings you still need to review
