Here’s a conceptual framework to help keep your no-code and low-code effort simple, but comprehensive. By Joe Procopio.

The main points captured in the blog post:

  • Yes, you need to document code you didn’t write
  • Create a single, central document
  • Document before you act
  • Be verbose but direct

  • Be judicious about what makes a release
  • Don’t rely on the platform’s versioning

Some platforms allow you to create save points and restore to previous versions like I mentioned above, but most don’t do it well, and some don’t do it at all.
