Hi Pros-
So... this is me, standing in front of an empty screen, asking someone to mentor me. :)
All jokes aside... I have been using Jira/Confluence for about a year and a half as a CSM. I'd really like to start working towards certs- I feel like this would best help me increase my knowledge. That being said, there is so much info out there I would love to find someone who is MUCH more experienced than I am (which prob wouldn't take much) to mentor me through this process.
What do you say... any takers?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey @Brant Schroeder thank you for applying so quickly. I think that is the thing. I have done the "free" certs that Atlassian offers. But looking at all of the larger certs, I honestly just don't know where to start. Does that make sense?
What cert best aligns with what you are currently doing? What product do you use the most currently? If you can provide that information I can make a recommendation.
@Brant Schroeder so.. I use Jira for creating epcis writing user stories, testing, etc and for PBI etc and Confluence for documentation as a CSM I haven't done anything around reporting with Jira but honestly I think first, I'd love to better learn what all it can do and get better at setting up projects/linking etc and eventually be able to be the Jira administrator.
Long term goal... I think would be gaining a working knowledge and proficiency enough to sit for my ACE. I like to continually learn... I want to get to the top of my game within my current capacity and then go from there.
I would love to mentor you. Find me on LinkedIn by clicking on my profile here. That being said although I hold 4 certifications, I will tell you I NEVER stop learning. I do think picking a "beast" to focus on and knowing that very, very well is a good place to start. But once you pick your product you want to tackle first, we can set up regular learning mini sessions once a month and I can point you to other learning resources and documentation to learn in between. Additionally, I can always be an ear to sound board questions to and point you in the right direction to self-help when it's an option. Looking forward to sharing some knowledge with an eager learner.
I can help you with the certifications.

Good luck
Thank you @Gal Fatal
So, assuming that I am just a basic user currently- would you still suggest to follow the path in the article above?
I wish I could get more involved but until I can shift some stuff off my plate, some tips I've picked up along my journey?
