This course is an advanced course for architects, senior consultants, and technical leaders responsible for planning, designing, and governing AI-powered enterprise solutions built on Microsoft platforms. This course serves as a foundational, real-world, and architectural preparation step that builds the design judgment, strategic reasoning, and end-to-end understanding learners need before pursuing the AB‑100 exam or implementing agentic AI solutions at scale. Learners will explore how to architect AI-powered business solutions that use agents, copilots, and generative AI to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and enhance employee and customer experiences. Emphasis is placed on architecture, trade-offs, governance, cost/benefit analysis, and lifecycle management, rather than step-by-step configuration.
Important Note: While this course aligns conceptually with many of the AB 100 exam skill areas, it is not a test-preparation course and does not focus on test-taking strategies. Instead, it provides the architectural foundations, enterprise context, and design reasoning that make AB 100 learning meaningful and applicable. For many learners, this course serves as a recommended preparatory step before beginning focused AB 100 exam study.
This course will cover the following topics:
