 INTRODUCTION.
1. OverView.
Low-code is a popular software development approach that uses a simple
drag-and-drop interface and configuration tools instead of traditional coding.
This method allows non-programmers to participate in creating software,
making development more accessible and efficient.

2. Purpose.
- Develop an integrated executive dashboard using a presentation-style
integration approach, leveraging low-code tools for streamlined and
efficient creation.
- Derive and develop requirements from the CEO’s memo, using these as
the foundation for low-code software development to ensure alignment
with executive goals.
- Develop a comprehensive test plan to thoroughly test the integrated
dashboard, utilizing low-code platforms to facilitate rapid and effective
testing.
- Create a feasible approach and schedule to ensure a high-quality product,
capitalizing on the speed and accessibility of low-code development
methodologies.
3. Scope

- The scope of this document is limited to the coordination and facilitation

of software requests between customers and the company. This includes:
o Data Unification: Combining employee data from both systems to
create single, accurate source of information.
o Process Optimization: Automating and streamlining workflows to
reduce manual efforts and increase efficiency.
 o Advanced Reporting: Developing robust reporting capabilities to
facilitate better insights and decision-making.
o Enhanced User Experience: Ensuring the platform is intuitive and
accessible to all relevant stakeholders.
o Notification System: Implementing a notification feature for
alerting users about specific conditions or special events..

4. Requirement.
4.1. CEO detail requirement.
- Display the total number of vacation days or earnings by shareholder,
gender, ethnicity, part-time, and full-time employees.
- Display the average benefits paid to date and the previous year, by
department.
- Display notifications for employees within a certain number of days
before their work anniversary, or notifications for employees who have
accumulated more than the specified number of vacation days.
- Display notifications for employees who have changed their benefits plan
affecting their salary.
- Display birthdays of all employees in the current month.

4.2. Design Requirements.

- The dashboard will display summary information of employees or their
detailed information, including salary and vacation benefits. This
information will be visible to the CEO and senior leadership.
- The dashboard will provide alerts for specific events or special occasions
such as work anniversaries, birthdays, or any significant changes.
 - The dashboard will assist senior managers in "drilling down" into
summary information to view specific details. Senior managers can
access detailed information behind the summary.

The dashboard will provide an overview of the entire ACME Company

(including its branches located in different countries) for the CEO.

5. Low-Code
5.1. Overview
Low-code is a software development approach that uses simple drag-and-drop
interfaces and configuration tools instead of traditional coding. This makes it easier
for non-programmers to create and modify applications, speeding up the
development process and making it more accessible to a wider range of people.

5.2. Popular Low-code platforms

- OutSystems: Known for its robust features and ability to handle complex
applications, OutSystems offers a comprehensive low-code development
environment.

- Mendix: This platform emphasizes collaboration between business and IT,

allowing for rapid development and deployment of applications.

- Appian: Appian combines low-code development with business process

management, making it suitable for building enterprise-grade applications.
- Microsoft Power Apps: Part of the Microsoft Power Platform, Power Apps
integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft services and is great for building custom
business applications.

- Zoho Creator: This platform is user-friendly and offers a wide range of

customization options, making it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses.

- Salesforce Lightning: Salesforce's low-code platform allows users to build

custom applications within the Salesforce ecosystem, leveraging its powerful CRM
capabilities.

5.3. Adventages and disadventages of Low-code

5.3.1. Advantages of Low-Code
- Rapid Development: Speeds up development with drag-and-drop
interfaces and configuration tools. Allows for quick application creation,
reducing time to market.
- Ease of Use: Enables non-programmers to participate in software
development. User-friendly interfaces make it easy to learn and use.
- Cost Savings: Reduces development costs by minimizing the need for
professional programmers. Lowers maintenance and update costs.
- Flexibility and Customization: Easy to adjust and update applications
based on user needs. Quickly integrates with other systems.
- Support and Security: Many low-code platforms come with built-in
security features. Regular updates and support from platform providers.

5.3.2. Disadvantages of Low-Code

- Limited Customization: Not suitable for complex applications requiring
deep customization. Restricted by the features provided by the platform.
 - Performance Issues: Applications built on low-code platforms may not be
as optimized as traditional applications. Potential problems with speed and
scalability.
- Vendor Dependency: Reliant on the platform provider for support and
updates. Risk if the provider discontinues service or changes policies.
- Hidden Costs: Licensing fees for using the platform can be high. Advanced
features often require additional costs.
- Security and Control: Data security risks if the platform does not ensure
safety. Limited control and management of the application's source code.

6. Build integrated applications based on Low Code technology
