It is characterized by a complex environment with multifaceted requirements: from project size to diverse industries, applications, and processes to a broad spectrum of technical methods (classic, agile, hybrid) as well as different employee skills \u2013 from highly specialized to a lack of expertise.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In this constantly changing world, in which regulations are also constantly changing, the ideal software must react quickly and flexibly to all these requirements.

Nevertheless, they have a keen technical interest and the motivation to tackle the subject.

This is a big difference to professional software development. Here, a specialist user first formulates their requirements before the developer implements them. But it is precisely within this communication loop that misunderstandings can arise. Citizen Development eliminates this process because the requester and implementer are one and the same person.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition to technical skills, the Citizen Developer also has soft skills such as knowledge, creativity, technical affinity and understanding.

to be solved with Citizen Development. Typically, this is a problem that needs to be solved during the project using an Excel spreadsheet. Imagine the following scenario: a user creates a spreadsheet to record several pieces of data in a structured way. The data is then stored in one place. But surely every Excel user is familiar with at least one of these scenarios: data is changed, formulas are deleted, or rows disappear as if by magic. The issue of change frequency exacerbates the problem, as authorization concepts or data types often change when new attributes are added, for example.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Conclusion: in an enterprise environment, collaborative work in an Excel spreadsheet leads to problems \u2013 it is error-prone, time-consuming, and not very efficient.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These are clear signs that Citizen Development can help to solve these problems or prevent them from arising in the first place. But how can these challenges be successfully overcome? The answer lies in the right software.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"snk-section snk-section_slimOnSingle snk-section_noTop\" id='software'>\n\t\t<div class=\"container container-sm\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"snk-section-headline\">Suitable Software for Citizen Development <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row snk-textColumns\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-12 snk-textColumn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textBlock snk-textBlock_slim\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/en\/product\/why-cplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">cplace<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is an innovative <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/en\/product\/customize-cplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">development platform<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> for Citizen Developers.
