Earlier this week we talked about the reality of working in a large ecosystem. There is always something new to learn, another capability to explore, or a different path you could take. Trying to keep up with everything usually leads to feeling stuck instead of making progress.
One way experienced practitioners handle this is by narrowing their field of view. Instead of scanning the entire ecosystem, they focus on the resources that help them go deeper in the areas that matter most to their work.
If you're looking for places to start doing that, a few community resources can help:
MyNow Best Practices is a curated collection of expert guidance organized by product, implementation phase, and real world use cases. It is designed to help practitioners focus on proven approaches rather than trying to sort through everything on their own.
The ServiceNow Jobs forum is another valuable place to explore. People often use it to ask questions about career paths, specialization areas, and where to focus next. One recent discussion features a community member asking for advice on choosing a future proof specialization, and the responses offer helpful perspective from others working across the ecosystem.
If you're trying to find your direction, hearing how others approached the same question can be incredibly useful.
To continue this week’s conversation:
When you're deciding what to focus on next, what helps you narrow your options?
