Citizen developers are individuals without formal training in software development who create applications using low-code and no-code platforms. The rising trend is driven by the need for organizations to digitize operations quickly, as IT departments struggle with a backlog of solution requests. Effective governance for citizen development includes having a clear vision, establishing a centralized hub, providing training, and ensuring security while involving full-time developers for oversight.
