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.

A backlink is linked text on a website that sends the user to another website. You’ll often see sources cited in articles via backlinks to another source.
Backlinks are extremely important for website authority, because you are aligning yourself with related websites and sources within your industry. It’s just as important to work toward obtaining links from other sites to yours, which signals to search engines that your website is useful and trustworthy. Many strategies exist for maximizing a site’s backlink profile.
