Low Code Development Platforms A Complete Guide - 2020 Edition

Low code platforms are reshaping how enterprises deliver software, yet most organizations lack a disciplined way to evaluate maturity, risk, and ROI. Without a clear view of capabilities, companies waste resources on fragmented projects, struggle to align with governance standards, and miss the strategic benefits of rapid application delivery. This guide provides the structure needed to turn low code adoption into a measurable, repeatable advantage. The core of the book is a self-assessment methodology built around seven criteria - Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control, Sustain. Hundreds of targeted questions focus specifically on low code development platforms, covering architecture, governance, security, performance, and change management. Readers rate each statement on a five-point scale, and the responses generate a radar-chart Scorecard that instantly highlights strengths and gaps. Even professionals with limited low code experience can complete the assessment in a single workshop and obtain a clear, data-driven picture of where their organization stands. Included Professional Toolkit (40-48 Practitioner Tools): The toolkit is created fresh at the time of purchase, ensuring alignment with the latest low code standards and best practices. It is organized into ten sections - Getting Started, Assessment and Planning, Models and Frameworks, Processes and Handoffs, Operations and Execution, Performance and KPIs, Quality and Compliance, Sustainment and Support, Advanced Topics, and Reference. Users receive more than 28 Excel spreadsheets and 16 PDF guides, each containing three sheets or sections (Instructions, Template, Pro Tips and Common Mistakes). The deliverables include maturity assessment matrices, gap analysis worksheets, decision-making frameworks with weighted scoring, implementation roadmaps, stakeholder maps, runbook templates, KPI dashboard layouts, risk matrices, audit checklists, quick-reference cards, and additional resources that are all tailored to low code development platforms rather than generic project templates. Every purchase also grants Lifetime Updates. As low code platforms evolve, new features, compliance requirements, and industry guidelines are incorporated into the assessment questions and toolkit assets. Buyers receive refreshed content automatically, keeping their practice current without additional cost. This book is ideal for Chief Technology Officers seeking a systematic view of low code adoption, Business Process Managers responsible for integrating rapid-application tools into enterprise workflows, and Compliance Officers who must ensure that low code solutions meet governance and security standards. For example, a CTO leading a digital transformation initiative can use the assessment to benchmark readiness, develop a prioritized roadmap, and present a data-backed business case to the executive board. Developed by The Art of Service, business process architects serving over 100,000 professionals across 160 countries since 2000. Every book and toolkit draws on 25 years of operational excellence research and a continuously updated knowledge base spanning hundreds of industry frameworks.
