Exam syllabus

Envision and design solutions (35–40%)

• Gather requirements and initiate envisioning: Identify business pain points, evaluate operational processes, define non-functional requirements (scalability, compliance, usability), and capture stakeholder needs.
• Design conceptual architectures: Choose appropriate Power Platform components, decide between low-code and pro-code capabilities, and align architectures with Microsoft cloud adoption frameworks.
• Evaluate integrations and migration approaches: Determine integration requirements with legacy systems, plan data migration strategies, and assess licensing impacts on solution design.

Design system architecture (35–40%)

• Design data models: Structure Microsoft Dataverse tables, define relationships, optimize data indexing, and determine storage strategies across Dataverse, Azure Data Lake, and Azure SQL.
• Architect security and compliance: Implement granular role-based access control (RBAC), column-level security, record-sharing models, environmental isolation, and governance with Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.
• Design integrations and automation: Architect API-based integrations using Azure Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Azure Event Hubs, and Power Automate; design custom connectors and asynchronous processing flows.
• Design user experiences and reporting: Recommend optimal UI patterns across model-driven apps, canvas apps, and Power Pages; architect enterprise analytics solutions using Power BI.

Plan and manage solution deployment (20–25%)

• Formulate environment and ALM strategies: Establish multi-environment deployment models (Development, Test, UAT, Production), design managed solution strategies, and configure automated ALM pipelines.
• Manage testing, deployment, and go-live: Plan automated and user acceptance testing (UAT), design cutover procedures, monitor deployment execution, and manage rollback strategies.
• Design maintenance and monitoring operations: Implement telemetry monitoring via Azure Application Insights, manage platform capacity and service quotas, and define long-term support and health tracking protocols.
