ACA-900 Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    Beginner

    Basic Concepts · Jira Fundamentals

    A technology firm has adopted the Atlassian suite to manage their operations. They need a tool specifically designed for the software development team to track bugs, manage agile sprints, and plan releases. Which Atlassian product is built primarily for these specific use cases?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Jira Software is specifically designed for agile software development teams. It includes features like Scrum and Kanban boards, backlog management, sprint planning, and release tracking. Jira Service Management is tailored for IT service desks, while Confluence is a wiki for documentation. Jira Work Management is designed for business teams like HR or Marketing.

  2. Question 2

    Intermediate

    Basic Concepts · Project Types

    A large enterprise is standardizing workflows across 15 different development teams. The Project Management Office (PMO) requires a single, rigid workflow scheme to be shared across all 15 teams to ensure consistent reporting.

    Meanwhile, a newly acquired startup within the enterprise needs immediate autonomy. They want the freedom to modify their own project's workflow on the fly without affecting any other teams or requiring a Jira Administrator's intervention.

    Based on these requirements, which project types should be provisioned for the enterprise PMO teams and the startup team respectively?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Company-managed projects are controlled by Jira administrators using shared schemes. This is perfect for the PMO that needs 15 teams to share a standardized workflow. Team-managed projects grant project leads autonomy to configure their own workflows without affecting other projects or requiring global admin rights, which perfectly suits the startup's needs.

    Basic Concepts · Issue Types

    A product manager is planning a major new feature called 'User Authentication Redesign'. They need to break this large initiative down into smaller, actionable pieces of work that the development team can tackle over the next three sprints. Which TWO statements correctly describe the standard Jira issue hierarchy and usage for this scenario? (Select TWO)

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answers: A, D

    In Jira's standard hierarchy, Epics sit at the top level and represent large initiatives that span multiple sprints. Sub-tasks are the lowest level and must be attached to standard issues (like Stories, Tasks, or Bugs). Sub-tasks cannot have their own child sub-tasks, and Stories cannot act as parents to Epics.

  4. Question 4

    Advanced

    Basic Concepts · Agile Frameworks

    A DevOps team handles continuous incoming infrastructure requests with unpredictable arrival times. Their primary goal is to optimize the continuous flow of work and prevent team members from being overwhelmed by too many simultaneous tasks. They do not work in fixed two-week iterations. Which Agile framework and associated Jira feature is most appropriate for this team?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Kanban is designed for continuous flow without fixed time-boxed iterations (sprints). A core tenet of Kanban is utilizing Work In Progress (WIP) limits to prevent overloading the team and to highlight bottlenecks. Scrum relies on fixed sprints and sprint planning, which does not fit this team's unpredictable, continuous request model.

  5. Question 5

    Beginner

    Basic Concepts · Backlog Concepts

    True or False: The Product Backlog contains only the issues that have been selected and committed to for the current active sprint.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    This is False. The Product Backlog is the master prioritized list of all desired work for the entire product. The subset of items selected specifically for the current active sprint is known as the Sprint Backlog.

  6. Question 6

    Beginner

    Jira Navigation · Global Navigation

    A user is currently viewing a Jira dashboard and needs to quickly return to a specific issue they were viewing yesterday. However, they cannot remember the exact issue key or the project it belongs to. Which navigation element is the most efficient way to locate this recently viewed issue?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    The 'Your work' dropdown in the top global navigation bar provides immediate access to recent projects, recently viewed issues, and issues currently assigned to you. This is the fastest way to find an issue you looked at yesterday without needing to search or know the project context.
