The business is interested in using ITBM, focusing on Agile, PPM, and APM; so I'm here to get a basic understanding of PPM.

I've worked in Applications Development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro for over 20 years and now my focus is Release & Deployment Management. I'm especially interested in learning about how the Release Management functionality ties in to PPM.

I had issues too, but I think we just need to have the file downloaded (not open), to import into SN during lab.

Good morning.  Not a PM.  I manage software engineers.  Since we're an isolated group in our company, we often manage our own projects independently of the PM group.  We recently moved to SN PPM from Innotas and the uptake has been a little rocky.  Hoping this class will ease the effort.

Hi everyone, I'm Linda Charles. I am with USA Today Network. We were early adopters of ServiceNow and used the previous version of PPM, but then stopped using it a few years ago and are now looking to set it back up with all the great new features it has.

Quick question about a recent comment: Which ERP's will SN integrate with?

Good Morning!  My name is Lisa Braun and I am the Portfolio Analyst for BCBSND in our BPMO.  We are in the process of implementing PPS and have gone live with Project and will be rolling out Ideation and Demand in the next few weeks.  Excited to see to learn more about the functionalities available and how it will translate into the work that we do on a daily basis.  Happy Training!

SN has built in API hooks for most of the major systems, SAP, Peoplesoft, Workday, etc. - if you go to docs.servicenow.com and type the name of the ERP system you are interested in, you should get some hits.

Happy Sunday!

 My name is Greg Sahnd, IT Portfolio Manager for Sacramento Municipal Utilities District.  We are looking to potentially expand our platform and leverage PPM capabilities to meet our Enterprise Portfolio and business unit PMO's needs.

Thanks! I am unable to access the content area from the website - blank page every time. Is anyone else reporting this issue?

From the implementation course for PPM, they indicate Teamspaces aren't ideal. If this is the case, then are Teamspaces there purely to make segregation easier and is there another more advisable way to segregate the data if you don't use Teamspaces?

the docs website Mario is referencing is https://docs.servicenow.com/

Can you provide a link to the Technical Best practices article that Mario referenced from the Developer Portal?

dckendall

Sure - he mentioned it was on the Developer site so I will get that from him.  Dewayne

Does anyone have a quick summary of the best practices for when to use a portal v. dashboard v. teamspace? Thanks!

Is the Stakeholder assessment information available in a report view?

 

dckendall
Tera Contributor

pls let us know if that answered your question - you can also send the assessment info to a dashboard as well

Is the Demand Manager role typically a person or a Committee. Since the Demand Manager is filling in so much information, would he/she have enough information and insight across all departments

Bryson James1
Kilo Explorer

Do you need a specific role to view and submit/complete assessments in "My Assessment and Survey" ? Specifically users that have access to the Service Portal yet do not have a ITIL license. 

dckendall
Tera Contributor

Typically it is a person who is a SR PM type indiv who works to get the financial and resource information defined for all of the ideas that are moved forward to demands.  Then the Demand Mgr would present the various Demands to the Committee to see which ones move into real projects.  We all know that everyone is limited by time, resources, and money...

kellystroud

Our organization is trying to take subjectivity out of demand value assessments. Does anyone have any suggestions about how we can use in-platform data to auto-generate a value based on selection instead of manual scoring?
