ACP-520: Atlassian Cloud Organization Admin Certification Journey

[Kavitha Chandrasekaran]

Hi All. 

I would like to share my journey to preparing and taking the ACP-520. 

Week 1 (Nov 5th - Nov 11th): Gathering info. 

• A lot of good info to start with in this thread, so not going to recreate it  https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Training-Certification-articles/How-to-prepare-for-ACP-520-Atlassian-Cloud-Organization-Admin/ba-p/2441713
• Created a Miro board where I will be documenting my notes: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVNSDd2FI=/?share_link_id=445634915585
• Purchased the ACP-520 course and reading the overview of course.
• I already have a personal Atlassian account (premium plan) and setting up the cloud environment as instructed in the overview (some steps I have already done as I have a few Jira projects set-up for practice for ACP-120).
• Followed the getting started section and completed the below

           Created the Atlassian Account

           Created the site https://sitenamennn.atlassian.net/

           Navigated to admin hub: 

           https://admin.atlassian.com/ 

           Configured Jira Software

           Configured Confluence

           Able to navigate between products

• Started first exam topic Atlassian Organisations  

Feeling: Super excited!! I have my learnings from the preparation of ACP-620 and ACP-120. So, hopefully can leverage and can also document some good slides in Miro.

Week 2 and 3 (Nov 12th - Nov 25th):

Did not do much in week 2, but overall Completed going through Atlassian Organizations. Paused at different sections and went to admin hub to try out different menus and options as mentioned in the success cloud content.

Will be updating Miro board by the end of this week. 

Weeks 4 and 5 (Nov 26th - Dec 10th):

Completed User Groups and Admin Roles. Proactively booked the exam a the centre for end of Jan.  No spaces available at the centre I am booking until mid Jan. 

If you have good hands-on experience and familiar with roles, groups and access levels etc, the content of this exam seems easier than ACP-620 and ACP-120.
