D365 & Power Platform New Certifications & Exams

In the year 2019, D365 certifications and exams have undergone many changes. New certifications are replacing the legacy ones. By the mid of 2020, almost all past exams will be retired. I often get a chance to talk to people new to D365 or certifications. Few times I found they are not aware of these changes and focusing on something which is expiring soon. I hope this post will explain these changes and answer a couple of relevant questions.
