| + | === Fusion Team personas === |
| + | [[Fusion Teams]] is a concept often mentioned during Microsoft events. When Business Users and Developers work together in order to create Business Applications a so called Fusion Team is formed. There is a Microsoft Learn learning path about Fusion Teams and in the beginning Thereses a chapter ”Meet the Team”, which introduced the following roles: Full-stack developer, Office Manager, people from the business, different departements e.g. Inventory Management in the example, Lead Technician, IT responsible. |
| + | |
| + | == Roles == |
| + | You often see <i> Citizen Developer</i> vs. <i>Professional Developer</i>. The Citizen Developer is usually someone at an organization who knows the business and who uses low-code tools to create business applications which support business processes, takes away manual work |
| + | and make the business more productive. A Professional Developer typically is someone who writes code using an IDE (integrated development environment) and writes traditional code and extends with code where the low-code takes you no further. |
| + | |
| + | A <i>Maker</i> is someone who uses the low-code tools and create apps, chat bots, automations etc. |
| + | An <i>Admin</i> typically manages environments, settings and Users etc. |
