Notes from the SharePoint Masters
SharePoint masters share observations from the field.
November 9, 2010
Whether you feel certification is worthwhile to pursue or not worth your time, it’s still interesting to talk to the people who have attained the highest certification in the SharePoint universe. I count 47 people currently who hold the Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) on Microsoft SharePoint Server.
These are the survivors, many of them Microsoft employees, who have slogged through prerequisite certifications, a one-hour interview to validate their knowledge, then three weeks of training in Redmond from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, with at least three written exams and a final eight-hour qualifying lab with multiple SharePoint farms and multiple scenarios.
What are they seeing with SharePoint? I spoke to several SharePoint masters to find out.
