Agile Development 2.0 – Unified Backlog
Prior to London, users navigated through various locations to check information, such as issues, incident tasks, and defects, resulting in a misuse of the users’ time. Bypassing inefficiency, ServiceNow London differentiates itself from previous ServiceNow versions through its Unified Backlog application. The application displays a consolidated location for viewing stories, saving you valuable time. London enables you to prioritize and sequence different tasks to one location. Thus, sparing time wasted in translating records into stories by removing overhead.
Users can set up a Triage board to view records of a specific criteria. For example, separate Triage boards can be created for defects versus incidents.
Task Communications Management (TCM)
Task Communications Management (TCM) streamlines processes by enabling you to predefine a communication plan to organize events, such as major incident, planned maintenance, and release.
Key components of TCM include:
- Communication Plan
- Communication Task
- Communication Contact
- Communication Channel
Continual Improvement Management
The ServiceNow Continual Improvement Management (CIM) tool promotes service efficiency through the automation of processes, such as requesting improvement opportunities, implementations to reach performance goals, tracking progress, and measuring success. The application merges the people, processes, and data needed to meet overall business goals.
CIM allows any application or employee to submit improvement ideas which are then prioritized and ranked by a workbench.
Interaction Management
Users can request assistance through “interactions” and are routed to queues for assignment or to agents who can then respond accordingly. Interactions tie together all communications into a single location and can take the form of a call, chat, mobile app, voice assistance, and portal providing you with flexible means of usage.
Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
ServiceNow Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) helps you to integrate lean and agile principles into organizational processes that empower you to develop and deliver software products with improved governance capabilities. The application allows organizations to collaborate and streamline the planning and overseeing of various business functions as well as displaying a high-level perspective of business activities.
How SAFe assists your organization to deliver exceptional software more efficiently:
