Citizen Assisted-Development

Citizen-Assisted
Development

Citizen-Assisted Development is how organizations deliver better business applications quickly and frequently.

It’s faster than custom coding. It’s less risky than citizen development. And at scale, it costs less than SaaS.

It’s a low-code approach that embraces contributions from users, IT, and development professionals – all working together.

Why You Need
Citizen-Assisted Development

Business applications make up the backbone of modern organizations, and telling users “wait” or “don’t” is dangerous to both the organization’s health and one’s own career. If IT wants to retain and/or reclaim application leadership, it has to innovate.

You need Citizen-Assisted Development if:

You need to deliver more applications than ever before

It’s difficult for IT to understand what business really needs

Projects get delayed because of scope creep

IT is not able to react as quickly as business requires

What is
Citizen-Assisted Development

Some believed the way to handle increased demand for business applications was to bypass IT with Citizen Development. That seems to have worked for personal task automation, but not so much for solutions that had to be shared, deployed, and managed. Professionals’ skills shouldn’t be bypassed. Citizens’ insight shouldn’t be bypassed either. The key is to change the tone interaction between them from negotiation to collaboration. And to focus on delivering, not just building, applications.

Citizen-Assisted Development focuses on:

Engaging the business in building application prototypes, so their requirements are clearly communicated and actionable, making IT's job quicker and easier in the process

Making continuous evolution of applications easy, so scope creep and ever-changing requirements are no longer a problem

Freeing IT from manual maintenance chores, so they can shift resources to delivering more business applications, and handling change requests
