Microsoft PL-600: Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect

Last checked October 22, 2026 against the official Microsoft exam page.

1. Question 1Perform solution envisioning and requirement analysis

   Which artefact best captures the current-state business processes before a Power Platform solution is designed?

   1. AThe vendor's product catalogue, which lists the features of the platform and does not describe the current business processes
   2. BA process map of the as-is processes, with their steps, roles, pain points and volumes, validated with process owners
   3. CThe licence invoice from the last year, which records the cost of the platform but not how the business actually works
   4. DA list of user email addresses in the organisation directory, which records who works in the business but not the processes they run
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: B

   An as-is process map validated with owners shows how work is done today, which is the basis for future-state design. A catalogue, an invoice and a directory list do not describe the processes.

2. Question 2Architect a solution

   Which design decision matters most for a Dataverse solution that serves several business units?

   1. AThe name of each business unit's manager on the organisation chart, which is recorded for the approvals in the workflows
   2. BThe colour of the business units' icons in the navigation, which must be chosen to match the corporate colour palette
   3. CThe number of tables named in the spreadsheet of the project plan, which is used only to estimate the duration of the work
   4. DThe business unit and team structure, with security roles that limit access by business unit and by team
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: D

   Business unit and team structure with appropriate security roles controls who sees and changes data across units. Icon colours, table counts in plans and manager names do not control access.

3. Question 3Implement the solution

   Which activity validates a solution design before go-live?

   1. ADeploying the solution to production and waiting for user complaints before making any changes to its design at all
   2. BA design review that checks security, API limits, performance and integrations against the requirements
   3. CRemoving the test environment so that developers focus on production only, which speeds up the work of the team each week
   4. DRenaming the solution's tables without testing, so that the names match the business terms used in the reports
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: B

   A design review against requirements checks security, limits, performance and integrations before release. Deploying first, removing test environments and renaming without testing each skip that validation.

4. Question 4Perform solution envisioning and requirement analysis

   Which non-functional requirement covers the response time of a Power Apps screen used by a field team?

   1. APrinting of the app's help text, which does not cover how quickly the screens respond for the team in the field
   2. BBranding, which sets the colours and logos used in the app but does not cover how quickly its screens respond to users
   3. CLocalisation of the date format only, which does not cover response time for the users working in the field at any time
   4. DPerformance, which sets the acceptable response time and throughput for the app's screens and data operations
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: D

   Performance requirements define response times and throughput for screens and data operations. Branding, date localisation and help printing are unrelated.

5. Question 5Architect a solution

   Which Dataverse relationship behaviour prevents deleting a parent record while its child records still exist?

   1. AA restrict delete behaviour on the relationship, which blocks deleting the parent while child records exist
   2. BA cascade delete behaviour on the relationship, which deletes all the child records automatically when the parent is deleted
   3. CA parental delete behaviour that removes the parent and all its children without any restriction at all on the deletion
   4. DA removal behaviour that deletes the parent's name only, leaving the parent record and its children in place for later use
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: A

   Restrict delete blocks deleting a parent with children. Cascade and parental deletes remove children, and the name-only option does not make sense as a behaviour.
