It offers key metrics and trend charts to help you monitor and manage your platform's risk and improvement efforts effectively. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Outstanding technical debt:** Displays the total developer effort needed to resolve existing technical debt, excluding testing or validation time, with trend data up to 90 days. * **Technical debt prevented:** Shows the amount of technical debt avoided through real-time Scan Engine prevention, with trend data up to 90 days. * **Platform Health Score:** A 0--100 metric measuring overall platform risk across five weighted categories: Security, Performance, Manageability, Upgradeability, and User Experience. Each category is scored independently to provide a stable health indicator. * **Instance adoption risk:** Assesses the risk level (low, medium, high) of adopting the latest ServiceNow instance version based on current platform health factors. * **Cost and time savings from remediation:** Reflects benefits gained from addressing Scan Engine findings, including avoided downtime and breach costs, with trend visualization. ## Trend Charts The dashboard includes trend charts that visualize changes over time for: * Total outstanding technical debt versus prevented debt * Platform Health Score and its five categories * Instance adoption risk levels * Cumulative cost and time savings from remediation efforts ## Data Sources All dashboard modules and trend charts derive their data from the **snsescanresult** table, ensuring consistent and accurate reporting of Scan Engine findings and metrics. The Executive dashboard includes trend charts and the following overview modules. {#scan-engine-executive-dashboard__table_afw_4vz_chc__entry__2} | Information module | Description | |-|-| | Outstanding technical debt | * The total time required to resolve existing technical debt on your platform, based on the effort of a single developer. It does not include time for testing, validation, or other stages of the software development life-cycle (SDLC). * The graph line shows the trend of technical debt over a certain time period. * The time period shown depends on available data, with a maximum of 90 days of information displayed. {#scan-engine-executive-dashboard__ul_cbm_vgl_fhc} | | Technical debt prevented | * Reflects the amount of technical debt prevented from entering the instance because of the Scan Engine's real-time prevention. * The graph line shows the trend of prevented technical debt over a certain time period. * The time period shown depends on available data, with a maximum of 90 days of information displayed. {#scan-engine-executive-dashboard__ul_upr_zgl_fhc} | | Platform Health Score | * A 0--100 metric showing your overall instance platform risk across five weighted categories. * Combines Security, Performance, Manageability, Upgradeability, and User Experience risk independently so that higher severity violations carry more weight than cosmetic issues. * Each category is scored separately and unaffected by changes in other categories, giving you a stable indicator of true platform health without false shifts. For the complete calculation model and category weights, see [Instance Health Score calculation model](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/F7qiIl3J44Nkm7noFnyyzQ "The Instance Health Score reflects platform risk through a four-step category-weighted calculation. Each scoring category is evaluated independently, then combined into a single overall score using fixed category weights."). | | Instance adoption risk | * An assessment of the risk of adopting the latest ServiceNow instance version. * Risk factors are identified based on the current state of your instance's platform health, including quality, compliance, security, and other standards. * The three levels of adoption risk are low, medium, and high. {#scan-engine-executive-dashboard__ul_nqn_m2m_fhc} | | Cost and time savings from remediation | * Reflects the cost savings and time savings your organization has gained by remediating findings through the Scan Engine. * Cost savings are based on avoided downtime, prevented data breach expenses, and other remediation benefits. * The chart shows current cost and time savings, as well as trends over time. {#scan-engine-executive-dashboard__ul_dwc_52m_fhc} | [Table 1.
