  • Good tips! 👍

  • @ChrisWeiss The CoE Charter Template PPT has the Governance Structure - Centralized or Federated, as step 8 of the process.  However, in the "Introduction to Centers of Excellence" link above, it says establish governing body and establish governance as part of Phase 1: Foundations and establish central responsibilities as part of Phase 2: Centralize.  Are those different than choosing the Governance Structure?

     

    Also, "Selecting Center of Excellence Governance Structure" has the CoE steps: Define Governance Structure then Identify Location of Key Participants and then Recurring Meetings.  However, the CoE Charter Template PPT has a different order: Identify Location of Key Participants, Recurring Meetings, and Define Governance Structure. 

     

    Can you please clarify? Thank you!

    hi there. FYI - this link (listed on the page with CMA info) does not appear to work. "404" errorhttps://community.anaplan.com/t5/The-Official-Master-Anaplanner/ct-p/maap

  • @AnyaS I'm having trouble finding the page with that link on it? Happy to update if you can point me in the right direction (there are a number of areas with "CMA info" so any specific direction would be helpful!). Thank you!

  • What is the structure of the exam? Are there only multiple choice questions or are there also questions where you need to type in the answers? Additionally, are there any sample dumps available for the questions asked?

  • @asarna Hi,

    There are only multiple chose and multiple selection questions on the exams. Unfortunately, we do not have sample questions available at the moment.

  • Hi, will Polaris or Plan IQ be included on the exam? and is there an intention to publish sample questions?

  • How long does it usually take to study for the Master Anaplanner exam? Can anyone give any ballpark answers? Is it a month or 6 months?

  • @Olek P There are no official times we can necessarily recommend; it really depends on what your baseline knowledge is and the experience you may already have. If you'd like to get a variety of perspectives, maybe try asking in our Academy and Learning discussion forum here: https://community.anaplan.com/categories/academy-discussions

    Best of luck!

  • @JonCushing I recall 2 Polaris related questions. Can't recall if PlanIQ was covered.
