Agile management
This set of practices is the result of bringing together three vectors:
- The motivation of teams through the development of collective intelligence
- The optimal use of new technologies, notably through personalization
- Process optimization through continuous improvement
In the context of a project, agile management is an iterative, personalized and adaptive approach. In concrete terms, this means that your project will be built step by step with frequent deliveries, allowing you to evaluate the quality of the solution as it is being built. The solutions are flexible and are improved thanks to feedback from your end users. Collaboration, flexibility and interactivity are the key words!
McGill University offers an in-depth article on the subject.

API
Acronym for Application programming interface
An API is an intermediary between computers or software. Through an API, one app can offer its services to another app, in order to add features to those initially available. The use of APIs facilitates the automation and programming of certain tasks. Traditionally, it was necessary to manually export data from one system and import it into another system. With APIs, systems can now communicate directly with each other, which gives you more time to perform your value-added activities (the real business!). For systems that don’t have APIs, you can turn to RPA (robotic process automation).
