For developers, it's about offering founders the peace of mind and reassurance they need as they embark on their projects.

I only wish this book had been available when I started my project—it would have helped me avoid costly mistakes with past developers, saved time and money, and, most importantly, reassured me that I was in good hands.

“No-Code Project Management has been a great guide for our agency & start-up. It covers everything from setting clear project timelines to managing communication between founders and developers ... the two areas where no-code projects can really run into trouble.

The sections on scope management and preventing ‘scope creep’ were especially useful, helping us avoid common pitfalls that can cause delays and cost overruns.

The practical tips on breaking down tasks, setting milestones, and handling estimates have helped us streamline our workflow, reduce production time, and keep projects within budget.

It's a must-read for anyone navigating the fast-paced world of no-code projects.”

About Chris Schrade

Chris Schrade's career spans diverse industries, each one contributing to his expertise in managing complex projects and leading diverse teams. With over 12 years of experience estimating large crane and rigging projects, Chris learned how to break down intricate jobs into manageable components, ensuring precision and efficiency. His work required meticulous organization and the ability to foresee potential issues before they arose, critical skills that would later apply to his career in software development.

Chris's role as a financial advisor further refined his client relationship skills. Handling sensitive financial situations, he developed a deep understanding of different client psychologies and communication needs. These experiences helped him master the art of clear and empathetic communication, essential for aligning stakeholder goals with actionable project plans.

As the owner of a martial arts dojo, Chris discovered the power of individualized coaching, tailoring his instruction to meet each student's physical and psychological needs. This experience further shaped his ability to lead and adapt, especially in fast-paced environments that require constant evolution and attentiveness to detail.

Transitioning into the tech space, Chris began his software development journey in 2016, gaining expertise in the no-code platform Bubble. By 2021, he was deeply entrenched in the no-code agency world, joining one of the largest Gold-tier Bubble agencies. He quickly rose from developer to project manager and eventually became COO. In this role, Chris often wore multiple hats, dividing his time between development, project management, and operational oversight.

As the bridge between founders and development teams, Chris played a pivotal role in turning visionary ideas into technical realities on high-profile no-code projects, including Qoins, Branch Energy, Athlytic, Recommend & Share, Ooldie, and Range Day. He was responsible for uncovering project requirements, architecting applications, and designing task sequences that resulted in successful app builds. His leadership and hands-on approach have contributed to over 100 no-code app projects.

Now, as the founder of Alchemy Apps, a no-code agency leveraging Bubble, FlutterFlow, Xano, and Supabase, Chris leads a team of experts in designing web and mobile applications. Alchemy Apps focuses on transforming business operations by integrating technology to streamline day-to-day workflows, enhancing cash flow and operational efficiency for startups and established businesses alike.

With deep expertise in project management, software development, and client relations, Chris has become a respected figure in the no-code development world. His ability to manage multiple roles while ensuring that projects remain on track has made him an invaluable asset to every team he works with.

Chris is now building BLDRS OS to automate these proven project management principles, making professional-grade project management accessible to teams of all sizes.
