Call to Action (CTA)
A Call to Action is any prompt on a website or app asking the user to take a specific action, often in the form of a clickable button. “Buy Now” is a common example, though calls to action don’t always have to involve a purchase. Signing up for a newsletter or downloading a free eBook can be valuable CTAs that increase user trust and also obtain contact information of interested visitors.

Agile Development
Agile Development - sometimes simply called Agile - is a project management style that emphasizes quick, iterative changes to a project to maintain flexibility in the project’s parameters and deliverables.
This is often juxtaposed with Waterfall Development, wherein an entire project is completed in stages before any launch happens. Testing and iterating in Agile often happens during development, with the initial launch happening much earlier in the process to get quicker feedback.
