Democratizing Development
Low-code platforms are changing who can build software. By abstracting away complexity, they allow business users ("citizen developers") to create solutions for their immediate needs.
Balancing Agility and Control
The challenge for IT departments is to enable this agility without losing control. Shadow IT is a real risk.
Governance Frameworks
Implementing a strong governance framework is essential. This includes:
- Sandbox Environments: For experimentation.
- Security Reviews: For apps before they go production.
- Centralized Management: To track usage and costs.
