    Mendix’s Digital Execution Manual: Start is a practical guide for businesses beginning their low-code execution journey. The whitepaper explains how to launch a first Mendix application quickly by setting up the right people, choosing the right first app, defining value, adjusting delivery processes, preparing the platform, and celebrating early success. It helps organizations move from low-code planning to real execution with a clear structure for team setup, app selection, Agile delivery, testing, deployment, and future scaling.

    Getting the first low-code app right is critical because it sets the foundation for future adoption and portfolio growth. This guide focuses on four key areas: People, Portfolio, Process, and Platform, helping teams decide who should be involved, which app can show real business value, how to work in short feedback loops, and what platform setup is needed before launch.
