Best Reports for indentifying areas which can be improved by Knowledge?

Knowledge Centered Support theory tells us not to go looking for knowledge to improve; the users will tell us what they need.   However, when you're launching the knowledge program, it's very helpful to promote managerial engagement by starting the conversation with "I noticed that a lot of incidents are incorrectly assigned to your team..." etc. and then explain how knowledge can improve that situation.

Just talking with people on the various support teams will identify the pain points - which reports do you use to put metrics around a known concern?   For instance, how would I identify incidents that started with one team, were assigned to another then bounced back to the original team?

What other reports do you routinely use to identify areas of improvement?

The "hashtag" method also brings up tackling this issue from a process perspective -- perhaps using the Coaching Loops plugin to review incidents that have been re-assigned multiple times and having deciding if the tag needs to be applied.

How interesting!!   Every time I think I am getting a handle on Service Now's capabilities and metrics, something like this "pops up" and gets me thinking again!!  


(in reference to one of Stephanie's comments above) I think an audit trail of the knowledge searched (or not searched as the case may be) coupled with this report would be useful as well.   This is something I am starting to ask SNow about as well.


Hi Simon,



I think the "Knowledge Searches" table would be useful for the purpose you're describing... something like this, perhaps?

Yes that's right on track.
