Architect agentic business solutions

Optional foundation

Check your starting knowledge

Use PL-900 to review the basics. You do not need to take this foundation exam to follow our route. If you already know the material, move on.

Certification requirement · verify eligibility

Choose one qualifying route

Microsoft lists qualifying associate certifications for this architect credential. Choose a relevant qualifying route, not every exam below. These are the options covered by our catalog; the official page contains additional alternatives. Confirm current credential eligibility before booking.

Core learning · AB-100

Learn the role, one area at a time

Work through the official guide and its learning resources. Use these three study blocks to organize your notes; the official skills outline remains your complete coverage checklist.

1. 1.Plan AI-powered business solutions
2. 2.Design secure cross-platform agent architectures
3. 3.Deploy, govern and evaluate business AI systems

Hands-on consolidation

Put it into practice

Design an agent-assisted business process with explicit permissions, human approval, evaluation, telemetry and rollback. Explain integration and business value.

Use a dedicated lab and synthetic data, never an employer's production environment. Check licensing and costs before provisioning; budget alerts do not stop spending. Remove resources when finished.

Review & exam planning

Find gaps with our AB-100 test

Try the test, explain each missed answer and return to the corresponding learning topic. Repeat the practical task where needed. A practice score is feedback, not proof of certification readiness.

Before booking, check the official page for current exam availability, any retirement or beta notice, and the credential's full requirements. This guide does not track completion or award a certificate.
