About this certification
The Managing Jira Projects for Cloud (ACP-620) certification is Atlassian's Professional-level credential for Jira Cloud administrators. It validates that you can configure and manage Jira projects to support the way your teams work — from setting up project structures and boards to designing workflows, managing permissions, and using reports to track progress. The exam is scenario-based, so it tests practical, hands-on knowledge rather than memorization.
Earning this certification demonstrates that you can take a real-world business need and translate it into a well-organized Jira Cloud environment. You'll be able to make informed decisions about project configuration, user access, and workflow design, and you'll be prepared to keep your Jira instance healthy as your organization grows. This credential is a strong signal to employers that you can be trusted to manage Jira Cloud effectively.
Who it’s for
This certification is for Jira Cloud administrators who are responsible for setting up and maintaining Jira projects for their teams. It is ideal for those who have hands-on experience configuring Jira projects, boards, workflows, and permissions, and who want to formalize their skills with a recognized credential. You are comfortable working in Jira Cloud on a daily basis, and you understand how to translate team requirements into practical Jira configurations. You are not just a user — you are the person others come to when a project needs to be set up, a workflow needs to change, or a permission needs to be adjusted.
Recommended experience
Atlassian recommends that candidates have at least one year of hands-on experience administering Jira Cloud projects, including configuring project settings, boards, workflows, and permissions. Experience creating and configuring Jira projects, including project roles and permission schemes; Hands-on work with Jira boards (Kanban and Scrum), including board settings and filters; Understanding of Jira workflows, including statuses, transitions, and workflow properties; Familiarity with Jira components, versions, and default assignees; Experience using Jira reports and dashboards to track project progress

A question, and the idea behind it
Every question comes from a concept
These are not trivia. Each one is written against a concept in the book, so when you get one wrong there is somewhere to go and find out why.

See it once. Carry it into the exam.
The pages shown here come from our AI-900 book — an example of how each concept is written in plain language and, where the idea needs one, drawn as a full page you can take in at a glance.

This is the part that teaches. The illustration and the written explanation stay where they are while you work, so a scenario stops being a memory test and becomes something you can simply look at.

DObject detection
Look at the five steps. Detect finds a face, align straightens it, encode turns it into numbers, search compares it with a stored face, and decide answers one question: is this the same person? Classification would only say “a face”. Detection would only draw a box. Neither decides whose.
Then the page shuts, and it starts counting
The same questions come back with the book closed — that run is the one that counts. After it, your coach picks one thing for tonight, sized to the time you have, and brings pages back before you lose them.
