What is practices?

The term 'practices' in a general technology context refers to established methods, procedures, or techniques that are widely adopted and considered effective for achieving specific goals within a particular domain. These can range from software development practices like Agile and DevOps, to data management practices such as data governance and data quality management, to cybersecurity practices including vulnerability assessments and incident response. Practices are often documented, refined over time, and shared within communities of professionals to improve efficiency, consistency, and quality in the application of technology.
