We are going through a paradigm shift in software creation, where non-technical employees, referred to as "citizen developers," use low-code or no-code platforms to develop applications that address specific corporate needs. Those who directly face business challenges are well-positioned to come up with effective solutions, provided they have the right tools at their disposal.

And no-code and no-code platforms are the cornerstone of this move, offering an intuitive, easy-to-use set of tools that simplify the app development process. These platforms have opened doors to building software for a wider audience, making it possible for people with no coding experience to contribute significantly to their organization's digital initiatives.

But what happens to companies for a non-technical executive to adopt the commitment to solve technical issues through technology?

PDue to the high demand for digital transformation, organizations are facing increasing pressure to innovate and adapt to a digital-first business environment, and IT bottlenecks, traditional development is slow and resource-intensive, leading to project delays, are the answer.

The adoption of citizen developers offers a myriad of advantages, yet it is not without challenges that organizations must consider in the form of best practices:

• 

  Provide access to easy-to-use development platforms.

• 

  Offer training programs and continuing learning opportunities.

• 

  Supervise by IT professionals to ensure that applications developed by citizens comply with organizational standards for security, compliance, and integration.

As organizations continue to navigate the complexities of digital transformation, the role of the Citizen Developer will expand and organizations will be able to unlock new avenues for growth, efficiency, and competitive advantage, ensuring they remain agile and responsive in an ever-changing business landscape.

In conclusion, this trend is not temporary; It represents a fundamental shift towards a more inclusive and efficient approach to software development, driving digital transformation and fostering a culture of continuous innovation.
