Low-Code Development with Power Apps — Citizen Developer in Practice

The business needs an app in 3 months. IT estimates 3 months of development. Power Apps builds it in 3 days. But without governance, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Service Log — Pilot Project

A process specialist (not a developer) created a mobile app for field technicians in Power Apps in 2 days. Offline mode, photo documentation, GPS, SharePoint sync.

Governance

  • Dev/test/prod environments
  • DLP policies for connectors
  • IT review before production deployment
  • Lifecycle management — owner, what happens when they leave

Limitations

Power Apps: great for CRUD and forms. Limitations: performance with thousands of records, no testing framework, complex logic. Rule of thumb: more than 10 screens → custom development.

Low-Code Democratizes Development

Business solves simple problems on its own; IT focuses on complex projects.
