At the same time, another work [9] that takes a multidisciplinary approach provides a retrospective view of theevolution of low-code platforms, elucidating their strategic integration with ERP systems. It reflects on thehistorical progression from model-driven development to the current state where low-code platforms are essentialin enhancing business processes, fostering agility, and enabling

This involved dissection of anexisting product, carrying out functional decomposition to understand the functional relationshipsbetween component parts, identifying gaps in the design, and bridging gaps in the designs by eitherimproving the design or coming up with a new design. Given that students carried out theseactivities in groups, they developed teamwork skills, improved their communication skills, andenhanced their critical thinking skills.
