Take ownership of this important content platform and get the most out of it. We explain many symptoms of wasted potential and highlight corresponding quick wins.

No-code applications are more focused on what are known as citizen developers. These are employees without a technical background who are able to create small-scale applications without the involvement of technical experts.

Determining which initiatives will lead to the most valuable products and services in the next six months is not possible, or at least not yet. The high degree of complexity and uncertainty makes it difficult to understand the near future.

Low-code is a technology that allows you to build software without tackling complex programming methods. The low-code approach differs substantially from high-code development (Java/.NET).

Technical debt is a way of describing something that hasn't yet been resolved and that circumstances cause you to defer as a 'think about it later' item. You complete something, for example due to an unexpected situation or a deadline, but at the same time you build up a debt with respect to things that still need to be dealt with. In software development, technical debt is the price you pay for the extra effort you will have to make in the future because you consciously or unconsciously do not always (or cannot) go for the best or ideal solution. Sometimes you have to choose the solution that is most acceptable at that time.
