120 cards
This deck is designed to help you build a solid foundation in Scrum fundamentals as you prepare for the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) assessment. The cards walk through the origins of the framework, its underlying principles of empirical process control, and the three pillars that hold the whole approach together. You'll also review the core accountabilities within a Scrum Team, including the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers, along with questions that probe the nuances of how these roles interact.
It's well suited for anyone new to Agile or Scrum who wants to earn the PSM I credential, whether you're a practicing Scrum Master, a team member transitioning into a facilitation role, or a coach building credibility with stakeholders. The questions range from straightforward definitions to tricky scenarios about role boundaries and team structure, which mirrors the style of the actual certification exam.
To get the most out of these cards, try short, frequent review sessions rather than cramming, since spaced repetition helps the Scrum terminology and role distinctions stick in long-term memory. When you encounter a card you keep missing, pause and re-read the relevant section of the Scrum Guide before moving on, because many of the trickier questions depend on a precise understanding of the official wording. Finally, try to connect each concept to a real team situation you've experienced or can imagine, as this makes the abstract principles much easier to recall under exam pressure.
