Discussion: Governance-first end-to-end automation for ServiceNow delivery (seeking feedback)

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share governance patterns that may help teams exploring end-to-end automation for ServiceNow delivery (not a sales post).

Disclosure: I’m affiliated with Humanize (we built this). I’m posting to get practitioner feedback.

Scope (end-to-end): Intake → Plan → Implement → Validate → Deploy
Guardrails: scoped change windows, approvals, role/permission checks
Quality gates: AC completeness, test readiness, rollback plan
Evidence trail: what we log, what we measure, and what we explicitly won’t automate

Mini checklist excerpt:

  • Run only within approved change window + scope

  • Capture who/what/when/why + rollback steps

  • Block deploy unless AC + test readiness + rollback exist

  • Enforce role checks + approvals + audit log pointer

I’d appreciate expert feedback:

  1. Which controls are non-negotiable before automation touches prod?

  2. What failure modes have you seen with automation/AI in delivery?

  3. What would you add for enterprise readiness (security/compliance/SDLC)?

(I can share the walkthrough playlist link in the first comment once this is approved.)

 

Best Regards,

Srinivas
