artner Forecasts Worldwide Low-Code Development Technologies Market to Grow 20% in 2023, in this age of hyper automation and hyper marketing; growth of tools that give freedom to end users in application development gives instant success, which is indicated by the forecasts.

However, we as technology managers and industry leaders need to carefully assess the situation and drive our organization in well-informed direction. This article is an attempt to give the following answers.

1.??????Difference between traditional development and Low Code No Code development

2.??????Commonality between both development styles and outputs

3.??????Applicability

4.??????SDLC Challenges

We will end by seeing what are the decision factors that can influence us and finally recommendations to adopting these trends.

As per Gartner hypecycle, Low Code Application Platforms have reached the plateau of productivity (LCAPs in below figure) implying, organizations have clear outcome-based adaption due to use cases & lessons learnt by early adapters.?

Difference between traditional development and Low Code No Code development:

Low-Code?/No Code Development :?Developing software applications with the use of a graphic, user-friendly interface as well as drag-and-drop components.

Traditional Development : Developing fully customizable software solutions with the use of manual coding and programming languages.

For simplicity: I have considered Low Code applications in Low Code No Code category.

Gartner Magic Quadrant (Y2022); to understand leading solutions available in this Low Code Applications Platforms (LCAPs )that can be leveraged for Low Code/No Code Application Development)

Apparently; Against the perception Low Code No Code applications needs a person who can maintain the application for future business process changes and data structure changes, unlike traditional development, where you can release high end resource and licenses costs gets depreciated, low code no code application needs business person (Citizen Developer maintaining it ) which adds overall costs to increase.?

ADAPTIVE GOVERANCE FOR LOW CODE /NO CODE

RECOMMANDATIONS

1.??????Before deciding LCAP or Traditional Code method, check the framework Governance suggested by Gartner.

2.??????Governance board and right framework for enterprises are necessary there is no more “shadow IT” anymore and IT and business need not fear each-other.

3.??????Before building an application using Low Code Application platforms, careful consideration of maintenance cost and need should be considered.

4.??????LCAP are investing heavily in enterprise scaling, but much of it is in development stage, depending the complexity and criticality choose early adoption

SAMPLE USE CASES

1.??????Invoice processing, MIS Reporting

2.??????Workflow based approvals like Work Permits in Industrial Complexes

3.??????Enhancing Employee Engagement, experiences via Service portals

4.??????Within Site Logistic Supply and material management for small Construction sites

5.??????People Management for Construction Site (that must have interface with Enterprise HR System)

"With great power comes great responsibility", LOW CODE / NO CODE are powerful media for business transformation, it is duty of Industry leaders and technology managers to have careful governance framework to reap the benefit.?
