Low-code and No-code platforms: a threat or an opportunity for business analysts?

The world of business analysis is changing rapidly, and one of the most discussed topics in 2025 is Low-code and No-code platforms. These technologies allow you to create digital solutions without deep programming knowledge, using visual interfaces and ready-made modules. However, does this mean that business analysts will become less necessary? Let’s take a look at the threats and opportunities these tools bring to the profession.

🔍 How Low-code and No-code change the work of business analysts?
✅ Accelerating the implementation of solutions
Thanks to Low-code and No-code platforms, analysts can create prototypes, test hypotheses, and implement changes faster without involving developers. This allows them to test business ideas faster and minimize the risks of failed investments.
✅ Less dependence on the IT department
Previously, business analysts prepared requirements that were passed on to programmers. Now they can implement some of the solutions themselves, which significantly reduces development time and increases process efficiency.
✅ Empowering analysts without a technical background
Previously, process automation required knowledge of programming languages. Now, analysts can customize algorithms and create solutions on their own, focusing on strategic analysis.

⚠️ Can these platforms replace analysts?
No, because they are not able to think critically, analyze business processes in depth, and communicate effectively with stakeholders.

So, Low-code and No-code are tools, not a replacement for business analysts. Mastering these technologies will help you stay in demand and influence the digital transformation of your business.
