Whether big or small, companies are looking at digitally transforming their operations to improve productivity, stay competitive, and adapt to the changing business environment. These companies rely heavily on their IT department to meet their software applications needs for digital initiatives. Overwhelmed with software requirements from across business units, IT departments are unable to fulfill their requirements. The rising cost of software developers and the lack of skilled professionals’ availability further adds to the woes.

This is where Low-Code No-Code and Citizen Development come in.

Citizen developers are individuals who are integrated into businesses as non-IT employees but are empowered by the ability to build applications to satisfy their needs. When these citizen developers build applications for a business using no code or low code software, the process is known as citizen development.

With its ability to create digital solutions quickly and to adapt to the dynamic business environment on-the-go, citizen development has become the one and only ticket to the future. A company backed by citizen development will experience an instant increase in its productivity, competency, and efficiency.

Here are the top 10 findings, predictions, and statistics that clearly establish citizen development as the future of software development.
