Low-code, but not low-skills: how to align the right profiles for sustainable projects

Modified on

We are increasingly talking about Low-Code as a quick solution to launch digital projects. That's right... up to a point. What we often forget is that behind a simple tool, you need a solid organization.

Creating an application with a Low-Code platform does not mean that you can do without developers or a real technical strategy. This means rethinking roles and methods, and especially knowing when to mobilize which profiles.

Low-Code doesn't eliminate developers, it redefines their place

One of the advantages of Low-Code is its ability to quickly onboard business teams. They can lay a functional basis, create simple flows, test an idea without waiting for a 40-page specification. It's agile, responsive, motivating.

But that is not enough. To build a product that holds up, you need to get developers on board very quickly. Not to code everything, but to guarantee the architecture, manage the integrations, anticipate scalability and secure the data. In other words: transforming a rapid prototype into a reliable solution.

The key: clear management and an intelligent distribution of roles

A well-run Low-Code project is based on three pillars:

  • jobs that are involved from the start, capable of manipulating tools and defining functional priorities;

  • developers who lay the technical foundations and ensure that the solution is robust, sustainable, interoperable;

  • a project manager who can make the link between the two, orchestrate the sequences, and ask the right questions at the right time.

It's not a team reduction. It's a fine adjustment of who does what, when, and why.

Anticipate the evolution of the project from the start

The majority of Low-Code projects fail not because of the platform chosen, but because they were not designed to evolve. A good initial framework makes it possible to:

  • avoid blocking dependencies;

  • integrate the issues of security, rights, and escalation;

  • lay the foundations for solid technical governance.

And above all, to avoid the syndrome of the “urgently built” app, which becomes unmanageable from the first update.

A team dynamic more than a tool

What experience proves is that the success of a Low-Code project depends more on the alignment of profiles than on the choice of the tool. With the right roles, the right exchanges and a clear roadmap, a low-code solution can be as efficient as traditional development but delivered in half the time.
