Today, Cisco is introducing a new agile process they call minor revisions to keep up with the rapid evolution of products and technologies. it will allow the Cisco certification exams faster with the industry changes.
Minor revisions provide Cisco the agility and speed they need to adapt their programs to industry changes and technological evolution. This will update the track details (exam blueprint, equipment list and software) more often while keeping changes (less than 20%) to a minimum. It allows to keep the Cisco certification exam content current and minimize learning curves between revisions.
These minor revisions have the following primary objectives:
- Exam Objectives are more clear: Cisco has refined the exam blueprint so that the objectives can be easily understood.
- Exam Tasks Relevant to Industry Requirements: Cisco has introduced new tasks into the blueprint in order to ensure that exams are relevant to industry requirements.
- Remove Outdated Solutions: Cisco is phasing out older technology and products that are no longer relevant.
- Updates to Equipment and Software: Cisco updates its recommended equipment and software in order to reflect the most recent advancements and technology.
Today, Cisco is revising the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure lab exam to enhance its effectiveness and relevance in light of these goals.

CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab Exam, minor revision 1.1: Ensuring Exam Relevancy
The new CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure lab exam is coming. It will be updated with a minor revision, which is small and incremental. The exam blueprint is similar in its overall structure, but this revision adds and removes technology solutions to ensure exam relevance. The exam reflects the most recent industry standards and addresses the ever-changing landscape of security technology.
Please, refer to www.cisco.com/go/CertRoadmap for the list of exam topics covered in the updated CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure exam and for more information about the CCIE certification program.
