Sandbox challenges
To pass the exam, technical knowledge of Atlassian Cloud administration features is crucial, but it is not enough. The majority of exam questions are based on scenarios that must be understood, analyzed, and evaluated to find the correct answer that fits the stated constraints.
The following challenge will assist you in exploring a scenario with launching a new Atlassian cloud organization. They will help to develop your approach and prompt you to investigate different methods and solutions as you prepare for the exam.
Launch a new Atlassian Cloud organization
Your company has decided to start using Jira and Confluence in the Cloud. You must create the Atlassian organization with those products, a sample project and space, and then grant administrative privileges to those who will configure them.
Jira
- Create a new Atlassian Cloud site with Jira Standard. Ensure you are starting a brand new site, so you can see all the default settings.
- During the set-up process for Jira, create a special project that Jira admins can use to track business requirements, configuration changes, app requests, and more.
- Use the Kanban project template.
- Use the company-managed project type.
- Enter ADMIN as the project name and key.
- Create the first Jira issue for someone to do the rest of the project configuration.
- Familiarize yourself with Jira.
- Go into the Jira Settings menu, especially Systems and Issues.
- Explore the places where users and groups are used such as Global permissions, Project Roles, and various project schemes.
Confluence
- Go to admin hub, then select Products.
- Add the second product, Confluence. Notice that you can add it to the existing site or start a new site.
- Once again, notice all the site creation options.
- Create a space called ADMIN.
- Familiarize yourself with Confluence.
- Go into the Settings menu.
- Explore the places where users and groups are used such as Global permissions and Space permissions.
Navigation
- Explore different ways to get from Jira Software and Confluence to the admin hub, including the waffle icon (with the hover text “Switch to”) in the main navigation bar, the Jira Settings drop-down menu, or just by typing admin.atlassian.com.
- Once inside the admin hub, explore different ways to get back into the products and orient yourself within them. Can you recognize where you are based on the top and left menu bar choices?
- Explore each of the main sections of the admin hub: Overview, Directory, Products, Security, Billing, and Settings.
- When you go into each of those areas, what configurations and settings appear in the left sidebar?
- Make a mental note of the default settings.
- Pay particular attention to features and settings that are accessible only when you are within a particular site. 👉 For example: Access Requests.
- Go into Settings, then select Details. Notice that your organization name is the same as your site name; the name you chose when you initially signed up. Change this to another name.
