Introduction
The No-Code market is booming. New No-Code tools are born every day to make life easier for users.
This market, which was worth around $3.8 billion in 2017, is expected to reach over $21 billion by the end of 2022. Major technology players are increasingly interested in these solutions. Google has acquired AppSheet, Microsoft has its PowerApps solution, Amazon offers Honeycode...
But why should I, as a manager, be interested in these tools?
The answer is very simple: these tools will enable you to free yourself from stakeholders and become much more efficient.
With No-Code tools, you can test a product without having to bother an already busy team of developers, who will take 3 months to develop your solution.
By adding a few No-Code tools to your ecosystem, you ll enable your teams to do more, more easily and more quickly.
Let s take a few concrete examples:
- With Airtable, you can create powerful databases that are as easy to use as your good old Excel files.
- With Notion or Coda, you can manage a project in a simple, organized way, using the power of collaboration.
- With Webflow or Unbounce, you can create the perfect landing page for your product.
- With Zapier, Integromat or n8n, you can link your tools to automate your tasks and processes.
- With Bubble or Adalo, you can design and develop a mobile application usingdrag-and-droptechnology.
- With Mixpanel and Amplitude, you can empower your teams by putting the data analysis they need in their hands, without needing to take up the time of a Data Scientist.
- ... and the list could go on and on
A changing world of work
At the very beginning of the No-Code movement, many people didn t believe that entire applications could become so powerful without needing to write a single line of code.
Today, there are many examples of websites or applications built with No-Code tools that are capable of scaling up to thousands of users, without ever needing to touch a line of code. This opens up huge opportunities for the future of No-Code.
The year 2020, marked by the arrival of COVID-19 and teleworking, has helped the growth of all these No-Code or Low-code tools. In fact, the future of No-Codedevelopment is promising, as demand is outstripping the capacity of IT departments to develop and maintain applications. Gartner predicts that 65% of all application development will be Low-Code or No-Code by 2024. And that No-Code developers will outnumber "traditional" developers by at least four to one by 2023.
How to use Notion to boost productivity
Many companies have already switched to Cloud solutions such as Google Drive, which enable them to manage numerous files online and, above all, to collaborate with several people on the same file, at the same time.
These extraordinary tools have already revolutionized the way we work. However, companies are quickly faced with the problem of how to avoid cluttering up their online spaces and, above all, how to find files quickly without duplicating them.
Notion can be a great tool for organizing your content easily and visually.
Here s why Notion is such a great tool (as the Notion home page illustrates perfectly):
- Organize easily with Notion stemplates, which provide an excellent framework for getting started.
- Navigation is simple and practical. You can move around your knowledge base with ease.
- There s great consistency. The style is uniform and limited to paragraph text and three headings, which is all you need.
- The user experience is very good, with many keyboard shortcuts and countless features.
- It s all-in-one software that lets you replace virtually any tool you use. Replace your Notes, Trello and most Google documents.
- And one important detail: it s reasonably priced. What s more, Notion gives away credits.
