“…For the development, socalled LCDPs are used, which are "products and/or cloud services for application development that employ visual, declarative techniques instead of programming and are available to customers at low-or no-cost in money and training time to begin" [21, p. 4]. Moreover, LCDPs usually use the Platform as a Service (PaaS) delivery model [10], [21], [22].…”

“…Current academic research on drivers and inhibitors for LCDP adoption is in its infancy [12]. A recent literature review by [12] summarized the academic discussions on drivers and inhibitors for LCDP adoption. The authors found improved software development efficiency, reduced entry barriers for application development, and reduced required knowledge for application development as the most discussed drivers in academic literature [12].…”

“…However, practitioners and researchers are being criticized for overly optimistic views on LCDPs [4]. If organizations adopt LCDPs and the benefits are incurred, the adoption can be a source of competitive advantage [12]. However, adopting LCDPs can also induce risks, e.g., inexperienced developers neglecting security standards when developing applications [13], [14].…”

“…Despite the potential widespread use, it is academically under-researched what drives or inhibits the adoption of LCDPs. A literature review by [12] summarizes inhibitors and drivers for LCDP adoption. However, the authors criticize that the current research lacks some commonly discussed adoption factors (e.g., top management support was not found as a driver or inhibitor), lacks empirical grounding, and the importance of identified drivers and inhibitors needs to be clarified [12] to steer attention to the most influential aspects.…”

Organizations are under increasing pressure to develop applications within budget and time at high quality. Therefore, multiple organizations adopt Low Code Development Platforms (LCDP) to develop applications faster and cheaper compared to traditional application development. However, current research on LCDP adoption lacks empirical grounding as well as a deeper understanding of the importance of adoption drivers and inhibitors. We conducted semi-structured interviews and a Delphi study with seventeen experts to address these gaps. As a result, we identified twelve drivers and nineteen inhibitors for adopting LCDPs. We show that the experts have a consensus on the most and the least important drivers and inhibitors for LCDP adoption. Yet, the ranking of the drivers and inhibitors between the most and least important is highly context dependent. For some drivers and inhibitors, the experts' ranking is similar to academic literature, whereas, for others, it differs. In conclusion, the study at hand empirically validates drivers and inhibitors for LCDP adoption, adds six new drivers and six new inhibitors to the body of knowledge, and analyses the importance of these factors.
