Agile Software Development in the Cloud Using Citizen Development

The field of information and communication technology remains highly dynamic and continues to be prolific in the emergence of new and innovative paradigms, methods or concepts.In this context, we aim to highlight the evolution of the Citizen Development concept and the impact of Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) platforms on business software development.These solutions democratize access to programming and allow users without formal technical knowledge to create agile software applications adaptable to various business scenarios.The progress of cloud computing, together with the need for rapid digital transformation and the increasing demand for software solutions, has accelerated the adoption of LCNC.However, the use of these platforms also involves challenges that may affect security, compliance with existing regulations, and the overall quality of applications.Thus, designing a hybrid collaboration model between software development teams and Citizen Development becomes essential for the successful implementation of applications created using these technologies.Despite the challenges, LCNC remains a suitable solution for innovation and digital transformation.The future may also rely on artificial intelligence integration, supporting agile development through intuitive interactions and enabling application creation via textual descriptions or even voice commands in natural language.
