The UK Home Office has expanded a scheme that lets staff without coding backgrounds build workplace tools using Microsoft Power Platform, while putting higher-risk projects through extra review.
Why it mattersThe department says it began with a pilot of about 250 makers. One project manager estimates his automation flows save around five hours for every 30 triggers, though that is his estimate, not a published independent assessment. The useful detail is the tiered governance: lower-risk tools can be built within defined controls, while more complex projects face additional technical assessment and business approval.
Discuss: How much freedom should public-sector staff have to build their own software before central oversight steps in?
