What it teaches
What the 2020 Scrum Guide actually says: the pillars and values, the three accountabilities (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developers) and who can do what, the five events and their timeboxes, and the three artifacts with their commitments (Product Goal, Sprint Goal, Definition of Done). The AI asks 3 questions, places you, shows a short card per module, then gives you one multiple-choice question at a time and in the drills shows the Guide’s own sentence behind each answer. Bring up a common practice the Guide doesn’t define (story points, velocity, Sprint 0) and it says so instead of teaching it as Scrum.
For anyone preparing for a Scrum Master certification, joining a Scrum team, or tired of arguing about what Scrum “really” says.
This course teaches the Guide, not any certification body’s exam. It makes no claim about exam questions or passing scores.
How long
32 items. From scratch it takes about 25 to 50 rounds (23 if you miss nothing after the first questions), and about 15 if you get both placement questions right, plus a 12-item final: 1-2 sessions (counted in an AI-simulated run, not timed with a real student). The tutor gives a one-line save code at the end of each session.
The modules
4 modules, drilled one item at a time.
