Citizen Development Program Design
Provides prescriptive guidance on enabling Citizen Development for your ServiceNow platform.
Overview
The Citizen Development Program Design Accelerator provides Impact customers with prescriptive guidance to effectively develop a Citizen Development Program for the ServiceNow platform. ServiceNow technology empowers non coders, known as Citizen Developers, to build new applications and workflows without having prior coding knowledge using low-code development.
This Accelerator includes workshops to assess and create a prioritized list of candidates for Citizen Development, determine the required screening and training for them, and assess operational and technical governance to identify any necessary adjustments.
For more information on the Citizen Development and low code development, see Exploring App Engine Studio.
