CSDM Lifecyle stage status Descriptions / Definitions for each value ( Alm Asset , CMDB CI )

[CordaryllM]

Hello Great People,

My organization has started to implement CSDM 5 into our Dev environment and eventually Prod in the near future.

I come from mostly the CMDB world and want to have a clear and concise understating of what each field actually means and to be able to present it to Key Shareholders.

The two tables that I would like to have a description of is the ALM_Asset table and CMDB_Ci table 

Does anyone have any descriptions or direct links from ServiceNow, Blogs or etc that has a description or definitions for these values. 

Attached are the values please let me know if theirs anything that I could help or assist with.

Hi @CordaryllM,

Not sure if you have heard about CSDM whitepaper. The foundation data domain contains the CSDM Life Cycle, which explains in detail what you are looking for. 

The white paper can be found here: https://www.servicenow.com/community/common-service-data-model/csdm-5-finally-get-the-csdm-5-white-p... 

ServiceNow University also offers a dedicated class for CSDM: Common Service Data Model (CSDM) Fundamentals 

Hope this helps!
