Show full answer Show less Notably, for most release families including Xanadu, Yokohama, Zurich, and Australia, there are no updates, new features, changes, removals, or additional requirements documented. This ensures clarity about what to expect during your upgrade process. ## Key Details for Upgrading to Australia * **Pre- and post-upgrade tasks:** Customers should review and complete any necessary upgrade tasks outlined to ensure a smooth transition. * **Deprecations:** Several SAFe-related plugins introduced in Xanadu are planned for deprecation and are no longer available for new activation. Existing users may continue using these plugins. The deprecated plugins include: * Essential SAFe * Portfolio SAFe * Performance Analytics Content Pack for Essential SAFe * Work Progress Status for SAFe * Agile - Scaled Agile Framework - Unified Backlog * Read-only roles for SAFe * **Alternative Solution:** ServiceNow recommends using the Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP) capability within the Strategic Planning application as a flexible and interactive alternative to the deprecated SAFe plugins. EAP supports SAFe features with enhanced team and work hierarchy configurations to improve communication and collaboration. ## Activation, Requirements, and Other Considerations * There are no updates or changes related to activation processes, additional system requirements, browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or highlight information for the Australia release. ## What This Means for You As a ServiceNow customer planning to upgrade your SAFe implementation from Xanadu to Australia, you can expect: * A largely stable environment with no new features or changes introduced between these release families. * Deprecation of certain SAFe plugins, guiding you to transition to the Enterprise Agile Planning capability for ongoing and future agile scaling needs. * A streamlined upgrade process without changes to activation or system/browser requirements.
