June 30, 2023, Microsoft MS-720 Certification Exam Retirement! The MS-721 certification exam will replace it!
First, we need to figure out what is the difference between them:
Subject:
The exam name of the MS-720 certification exam is Microsoft Teams Voice Engineer, and the exam name of the MS-721 certification exam is Collaboration Communications Systems Engineer (beta), which can be seen from the literal meaning The latter contains more knowledge points.
Exam language:
We all know that MS-720 contains a lot of exam languages, such as German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), and Korean.
MS-721 only supports English. The language here also includes the examination authority of different countries, so this is also a big difference.
Skills measured:
- Plan and configure Microsoft Teams Phone (25-30%)
- Optimize network performance (5-10%)
- Plan and configure Direct Routing (15-20%)
- Configure and manage Microsoft Teams Phones for voice users (15-20%)
- Plan and configure Microsoft Teams clients and devices (5-10%)
- Monitor and troubleshoot Microsoft Teams Phones (15-20%)
- Plan and design collaboration communications systems (30–35%)
- Configure and manage Teams meetings and events (10–15%)
- Configure and manage Teams Phone (35–40%)
- Configure and manage Teams Rooms and devices (15–20%)
By comparison, you will find that MS-721 pays more attention to configuration and management knowledge, while the early MS-720 is messier, with repeated and redundant exam points, so this upgrade not only simplifies the original exam skills but also sublimateskey knowledge.
