1A team wants to manage their own workflow, issue types, and access without involving a Jira admin. Which project type should the project lead choose?
A.Company-managed project
B.Team-managed project
C.Jira Service Management project shared with software teams
D.A company-managed project created from a shared configuration
Explanation: Team-managed projects (formerly next-gen) are self-contained: workflows, issue types, fields, and access are configured at the project level by a project admin without site-wide Jira admin involvement. Company-managed projects rely on shared schemes that a Jira admin must maintain, so they require admin coordination for configuration changes.
2Which of the following is TRUE about workflows in team-managed vs company-managed Jira Cloud projects?
A.Team-managed projects share workflow schemes with other team-managed projects
B.Company-managed projects can share a single workflow across many projects via a workflow scheme
C.Team-managed workflows can be reused unchanged in company-managed projects
D.Workflows in either project type are global and unchangeable by project admins
Explanation: Company-managed projects use workflow schemes that map issue types to workflows, and the same workflow can be shared by many projects. Team-managed projects keep their workflows local to the project — they cannot be shared with other projects.
3A company-managed project is created from a template. Which of these schemes does the new project automatically get its own copy of by default?
A.Workflow scheme, issue type scheme, screen scheme, field configuration scheme, permission scheme, notification scheme, issue type screen scheme
B.Only the permission scheme
C.All schemes including the issue security scheme
D.Only the workflow scheme; everything else is global
Explanation: When a project is created from a template, Jira creates fresh copies of seven schemes: workflow, issue type, screen, screen scheme, issue type screen scheme, field configuration, permission, and notification (priority is also typically inherited). The issue security scheme is NOT created by default — it must be associated explicitly.
4When you create a company-managed project using 'Create with shared configuration', what happens?
A.Jira generates new copies of all schemes for the new project
B.The new project reuses the existing project's schemes — changes to those schemes affect both projects
C.Schemes are copied but renamed automatically
D.The new project becomes a team-managed project
Explanation: Shared configuration links the new project to the source project's existing schemes (workflow, screen, permission, etc.) instead of copying them. Editing a shared scheme then affects all projects associated with it. This is useful for standardizing setups across many projects.
5A team-managed project has its access set to 'Open'. Who can view, create, and edit issues by default?
A.Only project members explicitly added
B.Any logged-in Jira user on the site with product access
C.Anonymous users on the internet
D.Only site administrators
Explanation: In team-managed projects, 'Open' access lets any user with Jira product access on the site view, create, and edit issues without being explicitly added to the project. 'Limited' restricts to listed members; 'Private' is even more restrictive and hides the project from search.
6Which board types are available out-of-the-box in a team-managed Jira Software Cloud project?
A.Scrum and Kanban (one board per project, tied to the project)
B.Multiple Scrum and Kanban boards spanning many projects
C.Only Kanban; Scrum requires Premium
D.Only Scrum; Kanban requires a separate template
Explanation: Team-managed software projects use either Scrum or Kanban as the project's single board, configured at the project level. You cannot create multiple boards in a team-managed project or have a board span projects — those are company-managed capabilities.
7Which board option supports a backlog AND continuous flow without sprints?
A.Scrum board
B.Kanban board with the backlog feature enabled (Kanban with backlog)
C.Plain Kanban board with no backlog
D.Only Advanced Roadmaps
Explanation: Kanban with backlog gives teams a separate backlog view to plan and prioritize work alongside continuous Kanban flow on the board. Plain Kanban has no backlog; Scrum has a backlog but uses sprints rather than continuous flow.
8A board admin maps two workflow statuses to a single column on a Kanban board. What happens when an issue moves between those two statuses?
A.The card moves to a different column
B.The card stays in the same column, but its status changes underneath
C.The transition is blocked
D.Jira creates a sub-column automatically
Explanation: Mapping multiple statuses to one column is a normal pattern. The card visually stays in that column when transitioned between mapped statuses, but the underlying issue status still changes. This is useful when the workflow has more granular states than the board needs to display.
9A column on a Kanban board has its 'Min' constraint set to 2 and 'Max' set to 5. What happens when there are 6 issues in that column?
A.Jira blocks new transitions into the column
B.The column header turns red to warn that the WIP limit is exceeded
C.Jira automatically moves the oldest issue to the next column
D.The board hides the column from view
Explanation: Column constraints (WIP limits) are visual signals — when issue count drops below Min or exceeds Max, the column header changes color to warn the team. Jira does NOT block transitions or move issues automatically; it leaves enforcement to the team.
10What is the difference between a board's filter and a board's sub-filter (Scrum boards)?
A.The filter defines which issues exist in the project; the sub-filter limits which appear on the board
B.The filter defines which issues are eligible for the board; the sub-filter further restricts what shows on the active Scrum board without affecting the backlog
C.They are the same thing under different names
D.The sub-filter only applies to Kanban boards
Explanation: The board filter (saved JQL filter) controls the universe of issues the board considers. The sub-filter is an additional JQL clause that restricts the active board view (e.g., only the current sprint) without affecting Backlog or Reports. This is useful for hiding done-from-prior-sprint issues or focusing on a subset.

About the ACP-620 Exam

The ACP-620 Atlassian Managing Jira Projects for Cloud exam validates that you can configure and manage Jira Cloud projects for any Scrum, Kanban, or Kanban-with-backlog team.

ACP-620 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master the differences between team-managed (independent settings, simpler config, project-level workflow/issue types) and company-managed projects (Jira-admin-controlled schemes, shared workflows)
2Practice configuring all three board types: Scrum, Kanban, and Kanban with backlog - know which project type supports which boards and how columns map to statuses
3Drill swimlane strategies: Queries, Stories (parent/Epic), Assignees, and None - and know that swimlanes do not honor JQL ORDER BY (rank is used)
4Understand sub-filter vs board filter: the board filter defines which issues appear; the sub-filter (Scrum only, on the active sprint board) restricts what shows on the board without affecting the backlog
5Study project roles vs groups: roles are populated per project and ideal for reusing one permission scheme across many projects
6Practice JQL daily - learn operators (=, !=, IN, WAS, CHANGED), functions (currentUser(), startOfDay(), membersOf(), now()), and ORDER BY
7Build automation rules with branches and smart values like {{issue.key}}, {{now.plusDays(7)}}, and {{trigger.issue}}; know rule scopes and audit log troubleshooting
8Use the free Atlassian University Exam Success course - it aligns directly with the published exam topics
