Starting April 29, 2026, Microsoft is renaming the Teamwork Deployment specialization as the Secure AI Productivity specialization to reflect the increased focus on the secure foundations required for successful AI adoption. Additionally, the performance, skilling, and Solutions Partner designation requirements will be updated to better align with foundational workloads from Microsoft 365 E3 and the realities of modern AI adoption. These updates expand the workloads included in the specialization and refresh requirements to reflect the skills partners need to deploy, secure, and scale AI‑powered collaboration. Additionally, partners will be required to hold both the Modern Work designation and the Security designation to earn the Secure AI Productivity specialization. Partners currently enrolled in the specialization will need to meet these updated requirements at their next renewal if it occurs after April 29, 2026.

Hi The Overview part of Specializations needs to be updated For us partners to get an overview of specific programs statuses As of today one can see if a program is achieved, or where in the audit phase the program is But one can´t at all see the overview status for the programs - if they are In progress or Qualified = which programs we have Qualified for to be audited (to start planning for next phase) We do get an e-mail when entering Qualified, but it would be great to see the full picture in Partner Center As of today we only see the Audit status, not the "Qualified" or "In progress" statuses (and you need to click in to each for the status per program) Regards - Gabbe
