In this issue, we closely examine the benefits and challenges associated with low-code/no-code and citizen developers. Opinions vary somewhat, but the authors agree that as digital transformation becomes a requisite to compete, the focus must be less on how software development approaches clash and more on how they could (and should) coexist. 

Encour­aging “citizen developers” to use low-code/no-code (LC/NC) tools to create solutions to everyday challenges  unleashes hidden capabilities, driving innovation and boosting productivity.
