Dear @trailhead , I strongly believe that the Platform App Builder certification should become a pre-requisite to the Certified Administrator certification. I have been directing our teams to get the certs in that order for several years now...

...and have some good indications that it is increasing initial pass rates for ALL of the subsequent Salesforce certifications that team members pursue.

I know many people who have failed the Certified Administrator exam because they have struggled with a lack of study emphasis on the content areas that the PAB cert prep resources focus on. I think EVERYONE should be a Platform App Builder first, Admin second!

Dear @trailhead would you consider changing the position/order of the Data Architect and Sharing & Visibility Architect certs in the pyramid image? So many people seem to pursue S&V before Data, and I feel strongly that it should be the other way around for logical progression

In fact, I would even say that making Data Architect a prerequisite certification to Sharing & Visibility Architect would be a helpful and appropriate change to the certification path

And as I'm contemplating it further, I think it would also be helpful and appropriate to move Development Lifecycle & Deployment Architect down to build on Platform Developer I, and make it a prerequisite to the Integration & IAM Architect certs
