154 cards

Overview

This deck is built around the foundational vocabulary and frameworks that show up again and again on the Project Management Professional exam. The cards walk you through the five PMI process groups and the ten knowledge areas, then drill into the supporting terminology you'll need to recognize quickly: the project charter, the triple constraint, the differences between projects, programs, and portfolios, and the distinctions between deliverables, work packages, and activities. You'll also find cards on scheduling concepts like the critical path method, float, lead, lag, crashing, and fast-tracking, which are common sources of exam questions.

It's a good fit if you're just starting your PMP study journey and want to lock down the language before tackling deeper content, or if you're in the review phase and need a fast way to recall definitions and formulas side by side. The earned value section in particular is worth focusing on, since formulas like CV, SV, CPI, SPI, EAC, and VAC are easy to mix up under exam pressure.

Because the deck mixes short factual questions with formula-based ones, try mixing up the order of your reviews rather than going through it linearly. A short daily session, with breaks in between, will help the terminology stick more effectively than a single long cramming session. When you hit a formula card, say the formula out loud and write it down once or twice before flipping, since recalling it actively tends to work better than just reading the answer.
