No-Code Low-Code in support of Project Management

Chasing deadlines, rising costs, battling budget constraints, and putting out unexpected fires. Sound familiar? It’s a common experience for anyone involved in project management, whether on a large or small scale. But what if I told you that you could mitigate some of these issues? Moreover, you could actually increase control over the entire process and enhance its efficiency, including financially!

How? Let's find out below!

Manage Innovation - Gain an Edge

We're talking about the latest technology that is revolutionizing the creation of digital products and fully supporting the project management process, offering numerous benefits. What technology is this? No-code low-code! Let’s be clear, this is not a deep dive into the technical intricacies of the innovation. Our aim is simply to introduce you to this technology and explain why it significantly changes the game rules that have been known in the market for many years.

No-Code/Low-Code - What Exactly Is It?

In short, these are platforms that allow for the creation of software such as apps, websites, and web and mobile platforms without programming. Yes, without writing even a single line of code! And we're not talking about simple apps but about advanced, scalable platforms. How is this possible?

Magic! Or more specifically, the magic of no-code/low-code platforms, which provide users with tools, ready-made elements, and templates for software creation. It's like Lego bricks - a multitude of different elements that, when combined, give you a new tool.

Why Is This So Important?

Because it completely changes the rules of the game in the world of digital product creation. Now, you no longer need an entire IT team to create your tool or application. You don't have to wait long for its realization, and most importantly, you significantly reduce the costs of the entire process.

How?

It's simple - no-code low-code platforms significantly accelerate the entire development process. Instead of writing code line by line, you assemble your project and implement it using platforms. Right from the development stage, you significantly reduce time, and that's just part of the savings!

Empowering Project Management with No-Code/Low-Code Technology

Take a look at the graph above, which illustrates two distinct approaches to software development: the traditional (requiring "full programming") and the one using no-code/low-code technologies. By utilizing LCNC (low-code/no-code) technology, you can significantly shorten the process time, thereby increasing room for other activities that enhance the efficiency of the entire project.

Cost Reduction in the Process

Moreover, it's no secret that time equals real money. By having access to such technology and using it in our processes, we can significantly reduce the expenses we would incur with traditional software development methods. This also applies to the processes of maintaining the application and its further development. No-Code ensures flexibility and increases control over the entire process.

Save on Employment Costs

Earlier, we mentioned that thanks to LCNC, you don't need an IT team. This is a good moment to clarify who, then, can create all these solutions with this innovative technology?

In theory, anyone.

The ease of use of these platforms and the absence of a programming requirement mean that simple tools, websites, and even applications can be built by anyone. However, for more advanced solutions, experience in handling these platforms, knowledge of programming languages, and best practices are crucial. Yet, this still represents a significant difference in employment costs!

Companies Invest in Citizen Developers

Global companies see this and are investing in so-called citizen developers, i.e., people who, working in various areas of the organization, are open to education and learn LCNC platforms to build tools supporting the company's processes. Microsoft estimates that by the end of 2024, over 450 million no-code/low-code applications will be built by Citizen Developers. Meanwhile, Gartner's 2022 report showed that over 40% of the surveyed companies had initiated efforts to develop Citizen Developers among their employees.

This demonstrates one thing - no-code/low-code is not only a chance to reduce expenses but also a tremendous potential for employee development and skill expansion towards achieving the goals of teams and companies!

The Value of No-Code/Low-Code Technology in Project Management

We've discussed what this technology is and the opportunities it offers in optimizing development processes and employment. However, that's not all. We are fully aware that not everyone reading this article is involved in the creation of digital products. Therefore, we now want to show you how no-code/low-code can help you optimize management on other fronts as well.

‍

Increasing Operational Efficiency

Process Automation

No-code and low-code platforms enable the automation of many daily tasks, such as resource management, timekeeping, or project progress tracking. As a result, you, as a Project Manager, can focus on more strategic aspects of work.

Saving on Prototypes

No-code/low-code technology allows for rapid prototyping of applications or features, invaluable for testing ideas and verifying customer requirements. However, the platforms themselves go several steps further by indicating that prototypes are no longer needed. Why? Because they allow us to build scalable projects right from the start, in a very short time, without the need to divide the process into prototype stages, MVPs, etc. This translates into better efficiency and effectiveness of the entire process.

‍

Customization and Adaptation to Project Needs

Ease of Customization

One of the significant advantages of LCNC platforms over traditional programming is the ease of making changes and the speed of adapting the technology to our needs. Using no-code/low-code, we can efficiently respond to new challenges and fully customize the built tools to our needs.

Scalability

Project Managers can easily scale solutions as project needs grow, ensuring operational continuity and efficiency. Currently, no-code/low-code solutions are used not just for simple applications and MVPs but primarily for creating advanced and scalable digital products, ensuring the potential for continuous development. However, several factors affecting the quality, security, and performance of applications in the future should be remembered - a key elements when choosing such service providers like no-code software development company.

Increasing Innovation

By enabling team members who are not programmers to create and test ideas, no-code and low-code tools foster innovation and creativity within the project. When a project is deemed valuable, it's essential to utilize the knowledge of no-code developers to ensure a broadly understood quality of the solution. Furthermore, solutions created using LCNC platforms enhance a company's innovation, thanks to the dynamically developed features of these platforms and new integrations with other systems.

‍

Resource and Budget Management

Cost Optimization

It's worth repeating because it's very important: LCNC platforms significantly reduce the costs of developing and maintaining applications, allowing for better project budget management. In many cases, savings can even reach 50% compared to the traditional approach.

Better Resource Utilization

Automation and improved efficiency allow for more strategic use of resources. And the ease of learning these technologies enables the education and development of employees across the organization.

‍

Rely on Knowledge and Experience

Certainly, no-code/low-code technology is the future for every company, in every area. However, don't wait until the competition forces you to implement it. It's worth using it now in your processes because it is literally at your fingertips! There are many no-code/low-code platforms, as you can hear in this episode of our Just No Code podcast. However, to know which one will be the best and how to use it most effectively, it's worthwhile to consult with an experienced company.
