Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Establishing a formal sign-off milestone with data stewards after data validation is complete.
Why this is correct
Business sign-off ensures accountability and confirms data accuracy.
- ✓
Performing data cleansing and deduplication on the source data before loading into Salesforce.
Why this is correct
Cleansing source data prevents polluting the new CRM with legacy errors.
- ✗
Erasing all legacy database backups immediately before starting the migration process.
Why it's wrong here
Erasing backups removes the safety net if migration data corruption occurs.
- ✓
Executing a test migration in a full sandbox environment to validate transformation rules and load performance.
Why this is correct
Test loads in sandboxes validate data mapping and identify errors before production.
- ✗
Loading all data directly into production on a Friday night without any prior test runs.
Why it's wrong here
Untested production loads are extremely high-risk and invite catastrophic failure.
