About Process

Process management for Platform Owners involves understanding SDLC methodologies, code promotion processes, and environment strategies. Knowing when to use Waterfall vs Agile and how to properly promote code through development, test, and production instances is essential.

Why This Matters for Your Exam

Process accounts for approximately 15.7% of the CPOA exam. Questions test your knowledge of deployment stages in Now Create, proper code promotion using Update Sets, and the benefits and drawbacks of different SDLC approaches.

Key Concepts to Master

Know the Now Create deployment process stages. Understand that Update Sets are the standard method for code promotion. Remember that development should NEVER be done directly in production. Know the flexibility benefits of Agile vs the rigidity of Waterfall.

Exam Tips

Focus on the sequence of deployment stages: development → testing/validation → production. Remember that multiple instances (dev/test/prod) enable safe testing before affecting end users.
