In this article by Jennifer Cadence, she touches on the fact that 202 has made people create applications and websites even though they have no coding experience. This is becoming more common that one would think. Even professional developers seem to find no-code useful. She touches on 3 areas….
- Speed and agility
- Productivity and collaboration
- Governance and security
Speed and Agility
Speed is a major factor in no-code. It allows for faster development times. This gives a greater turn around time for businesses to be able to complete a project and move on to another one. When someone doesn’t have to code an application the process is definitely going to be faster. Most businesses see this as a huge benefit.
Productivity and Collaboration
With 2020 came a need for greater collaboration and support from the communities. When a code creator collaborates with another creator they basically make sure the application is manageable, secure and smooth and usually manage this on a desktop. However; an end-user usually engages in the application on a mobile device. No-code allows the creator to collaborate with the end-user on a different level than normal. This increases productivity and collaboration between the two.
Governance and Security
With IT being able to set certain limits, non-technical personnel are able to assist in problem-solving and creation without running the risk of creating new problems. This helps solve a huge liability risk that can sometimes come with employees who are not always familiar with the technicality of some things. Companies are able to give their employees freedom, which makes them feel empowered, without all the risks that sometimes come with it.
As we move on to years to come, there will be a greater need to give the non-technical side of employees the freedom, power and ability to create and build. No-code is going to become more popular and necessary.
