62 decks to durably memorize the vocabulary and concepts of project management and agile: project lifecycle, governance, agile methods, Scrum, Kanban, the Product Owner role, PMO, and the basics of PMP, PRINCE2 and Scrum certifications. Spaced repetition helps these concepts stick instead of fading after a single read-through. Whether you're new to the discipline, preparing for a certification, or simply refreshing your project vocabulary before a new role, the cluster offers a starting point suited to each profile.
Each category groups several decks around a single topic, so you can progress from general to specific. Categories are available in both French and English. If you're starting out, begin with Project Management or Agile Methods depending on your context; if you already hold a specific role (Product Owner, Scrum Master, project manager, PMO member), jump straight to the matching category and branch out from there.
The fundamentals of project management: lifecycle, planning, delivery, governance, best practices and change management. The entry point for a structured overview of the discipline, whatever approach (predictive, agile or hybrid) you use afterward.
Cross-cutting agile concepts, beyond Scrum and Kanban: the agile manifesto and values, agile delivery, agile at scale. A foundation for understanding why and how organizations adopt agile before specializing in a specific framework.
The two most widely used agile frameworks in the workplace: roles, events and artifacts on the Scrum side; flow, work-in-progress (WIP) limits and metrics on the Kanban side. Essential ground for any team working in sprints or continuous flow.
The role that sits between business needs and the development team: backlog management, writing user stories, prioritization, roadmap and discovery. Useful both for holding this role and for collaborating better with a Product Owner day to day.
The organizational side of project management: PMO missions, steering committees, stakeholder management and multi-project portfolio governance. Particularly useful for anyone moving into a coordination or governance role.
The vocabulary and key concepts useful for preparing a project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2) or an agile certification (Scrum certifications). These decks help memorize concepts from the reference bodies of knowledge — they do not reproduce any official exam question and are not a substitute for dedicated exam preparation.
Project management and agile rely on dense, standardized vocabulary: Scrum roles, artifacts, ceremonies, PMBOK processes, PRINCE2 themes, Kanban terminology. This vocabulary doesn't stick well through passive reading alone — a well-known study (Ebbinghaus) shows that up to 70% of passively reviewed content is forgotten within 48 hours.
Flashcards with spaced repetition reverse that trend. Instead of re-reading a body of knowledge or a training deck, you actively retrieve the information from memory at every review — that's active recall. The FSRS algorithm reschedules each card at the optimal moment, right before you'd forget it, which reduces the review time needed to reach the same level of retention.
memia decks are organized by category — project management, agile methods, Scrum and Kanban, Product Owner, PMO and governance, certifications — so you can progress in a structured way, with clear visibility into what's already mastered and what still needs work.
This matters even more in project management and agile: these disciplines mix precise definitions (a Scrum artifact is not just any deliverable), roles with sometimes blurry boundaries (Product Owner vs. project manager, Scrum Master vs. manager), and a heavy load of acronyms (PMO, WIP, MVP, DoD). Mixing these up out loud, in an interview or a meeting, costs more than forgetting a date — spaced repetition specifically targets that risk of confusion.
10 free decks from the cluster are available with no commitment, spread across several categories — enough to test the method and the quality of the cards before going further.

Explore premium decksProject Management, Agile Methods, Scrum and Kanban, Product Owner, PMO and Governance, or Certifications. Start with the category closest to your immediate need.
The FSRS algorithm automatically schedules your next reviews based on your answers. Answer honestly on every card — the system prioritizes the concepts that are still fragile.
Once you've consolidated the fundamentals of one category, move on to a complementary one — for example from Scrum and Kanban to Product Owner, or from Project Management to PMO and Governance.
The goal isn't to memorize for an exam or for its own sake — it's to be able to use this vocabulary confidently in a project meeting, a job interview, or a conversation with an agile team.
No. The Project Management category covers the fundamentals and the project lifecycle from the very first cards; the Agile Methods category does the same for agile. The more specific categories (Scrum and Kanban, Product Owner, PMO and Governance) assume some familiarity with these basics.
Agile Methods covers concepts that cut across agile in general: values, principles, agile delivery, agile at scale. Scrum and Kanban covers the two most widely used frameworks specifically — roles, events and artifacts for Scrum, flow and work-in-progress limits for Kanban.
These decks help memorize the vocabulary and key concepts of the corresponding bodies of knowledge. They contain no official exam questions, reproduce no proprietary content from certifying bodies, and do not guarantee exam success. They're a memorization aid, not a stand-alone exam prep program — dedicated preparation (accredited training, official practice questions) is still needed before sitting the exam.
Product Owner covers an individual, product-side role: backlog, user stories, prioritization, roadmap. PMO and Governance covers an organizational function: portfolio steering, committees, stakeholders, multi-project governance. The two categories are complementary but address different needs.
Yes. All 62 decks in the cluster exist in both French and English, with the same 6-category structure in each language.
It depends on the number of cards and how consistent you are. With 15 to 20 minutes a day, most learners see solid initial retention within a few weeks. The FSRS algorithm adapts to your pace and spaces out cards you already know well.
Yes, nothing prevents you from reviewing several categories in parallel. Most learners still start with one category — often Project Management or Agile Methods — before branching out into the more specific ones.
10 decks in the cluster are free and let you test the method with no commitment. The 52 premium decks go deeper into each category and are available via credits or a subscription.
No. memia is a flashcard-based memorization tool, not a training provider. The cluster consolidates vocabulary and concepts, which makes learning easier during a course, an internal onboarding program, or a new role — but it doesn't replace them.
Start with Project Management for the general landmarks (lifecycle, governance), then move to Agile Methods to understand the principles that set agile apart from more traditional approaches. Scrum and Kanban, Product Owner, and PMO and Governance become much easier to place after that.
