626 TopicsApplied Skills Assessments?
Hello, Not sure how to contact MS Learn, so posting here in the hope that someone can help... Some of the assessments are currently undergoing maintenance, e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/applied-skills/deploy-and-configure-azure-monitor/ and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/applied-skills/deploy-cloud-native-apps-using-azure-container-apps/. Does anyone know when I can expect that maintenance to be completed? Thank you, FabioSolved602Views3likes4CommentsDesign and implement production-ready, multi-agent AI solutions Blueprint Survey Opportunity

Hi Team, I have been an extensive user of Microsoft Teams and the broader Microsoft ecosystem for a significant period, and I genuinely appreciate the continuous innovation that enhances modern collaboration. From my experience in IT, especially while working with cross-functional stakeholders, I find the meeting recording and automated summary features extremely valuable. However, I would like to propose an enhancement based on real-world challenges. In meetings where both technical and non-technical stakeholders are present, discussions often become highly technical, making it difficult for business participants to fully understand. This can lead to reduced engagement and misalignment. Suggested Enhancement: It would be highly beneficial if Microsoft Teams could generate two types of meeting summaries: Technical Summary: Detailed and suitable for engineering teams Business Summary: Simplified and easy to understand for non-technical stakeholders Example: Technical: We are integrating multiple third-party APIs. Simplified: Think of it like an airport control tower. Different airlines operate independently, but the control tower coordinates everything to ensure smooth operations. Our system is improving that coordination to make things faster and more reliable. Technical: We optimized the rendering pipeline. Simplified: We improved the application speed, reducing wait time from several seconds to almost instant. Why this matters: Improves understanding across teams Enhances decision-making Reduces communication gaps Makes collaboration more effective I believe this feature would significantly enhance Microsoft Teams and create a more inclusive experience for all stakeholders. Thank you.50Views0likes0CommentsPlease clarify the numbering system in Microsoft exams
I am trying to make sense of exam numbers in Microsoft Certification poster. https://arch-center.azureedge.net/Credentials/Certification-Poster_en-us.pdf. For example I notice most azure exam numbers start with 1xx. That gives me the impression that 1xx could be related to Infrastructure. But I am not sure if that is the correct understanding. For example all fundamental exams are numbered 9xx. So are exams numbered differently in role based certifications? What is the numbering pattern and practice in role based certifications? Again one might assume that all architect exams may have the same number pattern but they don’t. Some patterns emerge when it comes to Windows certification - 8xx. Collaboration and communication - 7xx except MB 700. So it appears even under role based certifications the numbering pattern may be different depending on the technology or platform or product. I have not found any authoritative material on the internet form anyone in Microsoft or an MVP on this topic. Some clarification on this topic will help to put at rest years of curiosity and confusion in the community. Thank you.454Views0likes3CommentsIntroducing the Azure Databricks Data Engineer Associate Certification by Microsoft

Hi First Microsoft opted out from awesome Credly (awesome, as learners collected “all” personal certifications in one place, no matter the vendor - easy to share the Credly profile link for various reasons) And now you have quit creating “per certification branded badge”s, and only provide standard “Associate” & “Expert” badges with a “Learn diploma) showing the name of the certification “in text” (the new Fabric exam as example) For us globally in roles like “Alliance Managers”, “Partner Managers”, driving and summarizing partners excellence in the area of Microsoft + pushing with marketing us and Microsoft- this is bad! Example on how we earlier are using the per certification badges Is it just by mistake you have taken this path? Or is it just me and my learners that have missed where they can download per exam branded badges for newer certifications now?
