Unlike professional software developers, citizen developers have no special IT or programming skills. Based on a low-code platform, they can easily create applications visually without writing a line of code.

As end users and experts in their field, they know the processes and requirements within their department and are therefore predestined to develop context-relevant software solutions.

There are also numerous “simple” processes that can be digitized in this way.

In this session you will learn how a citizen developer can develop applications in the shortest possible time based on low code / no code tools from SAP with a focus on SAP AppGyver.
