Hey Rastogi,

IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

Along with keeping accurate update sets, it is also a good idea to keep an implementation plan for each of your customer ServiceNow releases.   here are communication and organization tasks that need to be handled in a ServiceNow Application Implementation, along with untracked customizations in an Update Set.   The more organized, detailed, and tested an implementation plan is, the the more you can insure a successful application release.

Backout Plan
Test PlanNote: It is important to have a defined scripted test plan before the release.   That way only pre-tested functionality is tested.   Trying to "break the system" should have been accomplished during the Testing Phase.   This should be communicated to all release participants prior to the release.Post Implementation Tasks

• Phase 2 Development
• Support and Defect Resolution
