What is citizen development?
Citizen development is a business process that provides business users with low-code tools to create the applications they need. Citizen developers essentially take on the role of building the apps that help them deliver results on a daily basis.
Why do citizen developers use LCNC?
Many companies now use apps to solve their business needs. Global Market Insights predicts that by 2024, the enterprise application market will be worth over $287 billion. To meet the ever-growing need for apps, organizations need a faster way to build them. Citizen developers use them for the following reasons
Ease of use
Low-code/no-code platforms have a user-friendly graphical interface with a drag-and-drop design. They allow individuals with non-IT backgrounds to develop applications without writing any code.
Cost-effectiveness
Many vendors offer simple, cost-effective solutions and provide support, so companies don't have to train their citizen developers. And after paying for the software, an enterprise only needs to worry about occasional maintenance expenses.
Time management
63% of IT leaders expect to reduce the length of the software development cycle with low-code/no-code tools. Citizen developers can create apps up to 10-times faster, so IT spends time on high-value activities.
Employee satisfaction
Low-code/no-code tools empower employees to solve their problems. As they create useful solutions, they become happier, and their productivity increases.
Increased efficiency
LCNC platforms allow businesses to meet the growing need for apps—a lot faster and more affordably. They can easily address bottlenecks that cause operational efficiencies. Greater agility and speed increase operational efficiency.
Employee autonomy
Citizen developers have the freedom to build custom apps using powerful low-code/no-code technology. And because they are supervised by IT, they don’t work on rogue shadow IT projects. They build secure apps that follow corporate guidelines and policies.
