Project Server 2010 experts! Update your SME profile now!

Do you have work experience with configuring Project Server 2010? Want to help Microsoft create the next Project Server exam? Here’s your chance! Microsoft is looking for Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for the following exam:

• 70-177    TS: Microsoft Project Server 2010, Configuring

Microsoft will be using the MSL SME database to find participants for blueprinting as well as other phases of development for this exam. For your best chance of participating, create a SME profile by filling out the survey on the MSL SME site on Microsoft Connect. (See this post for more information.)

Please note that if you already filled out your SME profile, you’ll need to go back and update it. Microsoft changed the answer options for “Which technologies do you have work experience with?” to specify versions of Project Server. Microsoft will be looking for folks who select Project Server 2010 on this question to help develop these exams. If you filled out your SME profile awhile ago, your answer will show as Office Project Server without a specific version unless you go back and update your survey response.
