ABP 330 : Jira Cloud Essentials with Agile Mindset Pro Skills Badge ?

[Parveen Vats]

Dear Community Members,

Has anyone done >>  ABP 330 : Jira Cloud Essentials with Agile Mindset Pro Skills Badge ?

I am a beginner (having knowledge of basic Jira functions like running sprints, creating issues, simple workflow, custom fields, basic filter etc)  and has done Jira Cloud Essential with Agile Mindset Course from Atlassian, but scored only 1 correct ans at the end in sample questions.

Now have to go for ABP 330 : Jira Cloud Essentials with Agile Mindset Pro Skills Badge exam. Clearing exam doesn't seem as easy as going through course was. Downloaded Exam topics pdf. Each topic is very deep and vast in itself.

Need guidance on how to go about the same, where to get free sample questions for practice.

Next exam in the plan is : ACP 620

Hope I am on the correct path for building my skills for  "Managerial Role of Projects in Jira"

If anyone has any suggestions to walk step by step on this ladder.....can please help and guide.

Regards

Parveen

Hello @Parveen Vats ,

It is indeed difficult to prepare for the certificate exams without liberal access to all courses in the Atlassian University. If you have some access, definitely check out the Skillbuilder courses, they are the most recent and fun.

You are on the right path, if you are a beginner, APB-330 is definitely a smaller step than ACP-620. So much so, that if you just prepare for ACP-620 with a little extra attention to Agile and Scrum, you should be able to tackle APB-330 no problem.

My recommendation is to look around on Udemy and look for recently updated ACP-620 certificate exam mock exams. They are often for sale. At the same time sign up for a free version of Jira Cloud, and test/practice every question you can. Best if you have two accounts there, one with full admin access and one without, since permissions are tricky.

Best of luck!

I have recently took that exam ABP 330 : Jira Cloud Essentials with Agile Mindset Pro Skills Badge . Some that maybe can help you is that questions about use cases are definitely in the exam in majority. I see little theorical questions, but they are the easiest if knowing the basis. Questions about Reports and graphics are present too, so it´s important to study how different types of graphics works and how to read them. Dashboards, JQL queries are definitely part of the questions. In conclussion, the majority of questions are about use cases or scenarios of differents aspects of Jira Software and their components. I think the study guide at the final of virtual course gives you a good reference in what you should know. You can find most of the practice  tutorials in differents scenarios about Jira in YouTube, that is how I putted on practice. Hope this can help.

Having agreed with both Matias Bolyos and Ángel Vera Vizarreta

you can start with the basic Jira-related courses present for free at Atlassian university. This is the link to that and you can access these courses. "https://university.atlassian.com/student/catalog" 
Start from Jira Fundamentals followed by the Jira Best Practices where you can gain a good understanding of the functionality of Jira.

In my experience, what's most important is practice. It's one thing to study and another to put it into action. The practice is what help me solidify the information and provide firmer understanding of the concepts. Can create your own Jira instance on cloud by using the free version.

Thank you @Benjamin ! 
Yes! I am already in practice mode. 
I really appreciate your suggestions.

Wealth of knowledge here, so glad I chanced upon this. Thank you community members, for sharing! Small tip: Some countries tie up with public libraries to offer its library members free, or almost-free, memberships for Udemy and Coursera courses. This can potentially unlock another set of online materials and resources. Good luck! :)
