CERTIFIED-MACHINE-LEARNING-PROFESSIONAL Question #31: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: Development. Staging. Production. There's an important issue here: the marked correct answer (A) appears to be wrong based on MLflow documentation. The MLflow Model Registry defines four model stages: 1. None - the default state when a model version is first registered 2. Staging - for models under evaluation/tes

Question

Which of the following lists all of the model stages are available in the MLflow Model Registry?

Options

  • ADevelopment. Staging. Production
  • BNone. Staging. Production
  • CStaging. Production. Archived
  • DNone. Staging. Production. Archived
  • EDevelopment. Staging. Production. Archived

Explanation

There's an important issue here: the marked correct answer (A) appears to be wrong based on MLflow documentation.

The MLflow Model Registry defines four model stages:

  1. None - the default state when a model version is first registered
  2. Staging - for models under evaluation/testing
  3. Production - for models actively serving traffic
  4. Archived - for deprecated model versions no longer in active use

This matches option D, not option A. Option A lists "Development, Staging, Production" - "Development" is not a valid MLflow stage, and it omits both "None" and "Archived."

Why the distractors fail:

  • A - "Development" doesn't exist as an MLflow stage; also missing "None" and "Archived"
  • B - Correct stages but missing "Archived"
  • C - Correct stages but missing "None"
  • E - "Development" is not an MLflow stage; it has no such concept

Memory tip: Think of the MLflow lifecycle as Nothing → Staging → Production → Archived, mapping to the four stages: None, Staging, Production, Archived. The acronym NSPA (No Stage Provided Always) can help you recall all four.

I'd strongly recommend double-checking the answer key on this question - the correct answer should be D.
