Hi, I am a Project Manager PRINCE2 and recently done Scrum.Org PSM I certification. Most roles now involve Jira. Have intermediate hands-on experience with Jira and want to know which area I should focus on in Jira certification path Cloud or Server? Which one of the two is and going to be in demand. Thank you in Advance.

James,

  Welcome to the community.  I would suggest cloud as server is on it's way out.  (https://www.atlassian.com/blog/announcements/journey-to-cloud#:~:text=On%20February%202%2C%202024%20PT,available%20for%20your%20server%20products.) Server certifications still apply to enterprise but that will be a smaller user groups then cloud so I would recommend focusing on cloud.

@Brant Schroeder  Thank you very much. I am looking to do the ACP-620 Managing Projects in Jira Cloud. Is it a good start or step too far?

[Brant Schroeder]

Yes that is a great place to start.

I should have also stated there are some great free trainings and tutorials:

Atlassian also has some paths that they put together based on your role most reference server training but you can do the correlating cloud training:
