Sample Exam Questions

Try these 12 original sample questions for Microsoft MB-700. They are designed for self-assessment and are not official exam questions.

Question 1

Topic: Solution blueprint

A project has conflicting requirements across finance, supply chain, and integrations. What should the solution architect produce early?

• A. A solution blueprint that defines scope, fit-gap decisions, architecture, risks, and process ownership
• B. A list of color preferences for dashboards
• C. A production deployment package before workshops
• D. A single-user test script only

Best answer: A

Explanation: A solution blueprint anchors the implementation. It connects business processes, technical architecture, scope, risks, integrations, security, and governance.

Question 2

Topic: Fit-gap analysis

A business requests a customization for a process that standard Dynamics 365 can support with minor process change. What is the best architectural response?

• A. Build the customization immediately
• B. Evaluate fit-to-standard, business impact, lifecycle cost, and upgrade risk before approving customization
• C. Reject the requirement without discussion
• D. Move the requirement to user training only

Best answer: B

Explanation: Architects must balance business value against complexity and maintainability. Fit-to-standard can reduce cost and risk when the standard process meets the real need.

Question 3

Topic: Integration architecture

A legacy warehouse system must exchange orders and inventory updates with Dynamics 365. What should the architect define first?

• A. A marketing segment for warehouse workers
• B. A manual daily email process
• C. Integration pattern, ownership, timing, error handling, and reconciliation approach
• D. A new font for warehouse reports

Best answer: C

Explanation: Integration architecture must specify data ownership, frequency, error handling, monitoring, and reconciliation. Those decisions shape reliability and supportability.

Question 4

Topic: Data migration

A migration plan includes open orders, inventory balances, vendors, customers, and historical transactions. What is the architect’s key concern?

• A. Whether all users have the same browser homepage
• B. Whether old report screenshots are archived
• C. Whether marketing emails are scheduled
• D. Data quality, ownership, sequence, reconciliation, and cutover timing

Best answer: D

Explanation: Migration success depends on clean data, proper sequencing, reconciliation, and a realistic cutover plan. Operational and financial balances must be trusted at go-live.

Question 5

Topic: Security model

The organization needs segregation of duties between invoice entry and payment approval. What should the architect ensure?

• A. Security roles, duties, and controls support segregation-of-duties requirements
• B. Every finance user receives system administrator access
• C. Users promise not to approve their own work
• D. Navigation links are hidden without changing permissions

Best answer: A

Explanation: Segregation of duties requires security and process controls, not informal promises. Roles and duties should reflect risk and audit requirements.

Question 6

Topic: Environment strategy

A program needs development, testing, training, performance validation, and production readiness. What should the architect define?

• A. One shared production environment for all activities
• B. Environment strategy, refresh plan, release path, and data handling rules
• C. Only the production URL
• D. A single spreadsheet listing developer names

Best answer: B

Explanation: Environment planning supports controlled development, validation, training, and release. Refresh and data-handling rules prevent confusion and compliance issues.

Question 7

Topic: Performance readiness

The solution must support peak order volume during seasonal demand. What should the architect plan?

• A. A smaller user-acceptance test with no volume data
• B. A design assumption that cloud systems never need testing
• C. Performance requirements, representative tests, monitoring, and remediation actions
• D. A marketing campaign freeze

Best answer: C

Explanation: Performance readiness requires measurable requirements and representative testing. Monitoring and remediation planning help avoid production surprises.

Question 8

Topic: Cutover

Go-live requires final data migration, user access, integrations, and financial validation over a weekend. What should the architect require?

• A. A verbal plan from each team with no dependencies
• B. A single developer deciding the sequence during go-live
• C. No rollback plan because confidence is high
• D. A cutover runbook with owners, timing, dependencies, validation, and fallback criteria

Best answer: D

Explanation: Cutover is a coordinated business and technical event. A detailed runbook reduces ambiguity and supports go/no-go decisions.

Question 9

Topic: Governance

Scope changes are increasing late in the project. What governance mechanism is most appropriate?

• A. Change control with impact assessment for cost, timeline, testing, training, and architecture
• B. Automatic approval for every request
• C. Ignoring requests until after go-live
• D. Allowing each workstream to decide independently

Best answer: A

Explanation: Change control protects delivery quality by assessing downstream impact. Late changes can affect configuration, integrations, data, testing, and training.

Question 10

Topic: Business process ownership

User acceptance testing fails because no business owner can decide whether the process is acceptable. What should have been established?

• A. A generic helpdesk queue
• B. Named process owners with decision authority and acceptance criteria
• C. A longer list of technical acronyms
• D. A separate source-control branch

Best answer: B

Explanation: Business ownership is essential for requirements, acceptance, and tradeoff decisions. Without owners, testing and sign-off become ambiguous.

Question 11

Topic: Risk

An implementation depends on a third-party tax service that is not yet available in the test environment. What should the architect do?

• A. Ignore it until production
• B. Remove all tax testing from scope
• C. Treat the dependency as a risk with mitigation, test plan, owner, and decision point
• D. Ask users to calculate tax manually forever

Best answer: C

Explanation: External dependencies need explicit risk management. The architect should define mitigation, testing, ownership, and when the project must make a decision.

Question 12

Topic: Route fit

Which activity is most aligned with MB-700 preparation?

• A. Writing only introductory Python functions
• B. Configuring only a single Teams policy
• C. Replacing laptop hardware
• D. Designing the end-to-end Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations solution architecture, governance, integration, data, security, and cutover approach

Best answer: D

Explanation: MB-700 is a solution-architect route for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations apps. It tests broad architectural judgment across implementation domains.
