01Architect solutions
The Architect solutions domain carries the largest weight on MB-700, roughly 35–40%. It tests whether you can convert business requirements into a defensible solution blueprint for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations apps: process fit, data model, integration, security, extensibility, and licensing.
393 words, about 2 min02Define solution strategies
Define solution strategies (about 25–30%) tests decisions made before and around the build: implementation approach, application lifecycle management, deployment, data migration, and servicing. Answers are judged on fitness for the customer's constraints, namely geography, compliance, data volume, and timeline.
368 words, about 2 min03Manage implementations
Manage implementations (about 15–20%) covers execution: governance, environments, build and release, go-live, and transition to support. You are framed as the architect who owns design integrity while the project manager owns schedule and budget.
340 words, about 2 min04Manage testing
Manage testing (about 10–15%) tests how you plan and govern testing rather than how you author a script. Expect questions on test types and sequencing, the Regression Suite Automation Tool, performance testing, and user acceptance testing.
