APM
Your main squeeze
APM is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.
In gaming, especially real-time strategy, it stands for actions per minute—a measure of how quickly a player inputs commands: Pro StarCraft players average over 300 APM.
In business software, APM typically means application performance management or monitoring.
In project management contexts, it may refer to agile project management.
