In late July the exam description for MS-600 was updated, so it’s time to jump in and see what’s changed. There are some minor wording updates and some branding changes, but nothing that should derail your efforts if you’ve already been preparing for this exam.
While this is an exam aimed at developers, it’s also a good exam for IT Pros trying to get a better understanding of working with application permissions, MS Graph and extending Teams, even if you aren’t all that proficient in writing code. If you work with Microsoft 365 but didn’t really have the traditional, at least for now, background of working with Office 365 or on-premises versions of the products, primarily SharePoint, this will also help to fill in some of those gaps and help with customization requests that come your way.
