FAQ

Q: Why did you change the server exam direction into less technical?

A: There is a significant effort to build every new exam and we wanted broaden the audience to the entire PMO. We are still requiring passing technical 70-331: Core Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 exam for Gold PPM Competency.

Q: Do the new Project exams cover online aspects as well?

A: Thanks to the parity of product functionality we do call out Project Pro for Office 365 and Project Online in our exams, we used “on-premises” names for exam titles to be consistent with other exams released by Microsoft.
