## Configuration workflow {#configuring-apw-with-agile-safe-and-ppm__section_dqy_3g3_s5b}

Use the following steps as guidelines for your Strategic Planning with PPM, Agile 2.0, Next Experience for Demand Management, and SAFe setup process. Some of these steps require the admin role (sn_align_core.apw_admin) and some require the user role (sn_align_core.apw_user).

1. [Create an alignment integration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/T2oXycVQq62Cfi5iiccqsw "Once you have Strategic Planning installed, the ServiceNow Internal Alignment integration is created by default. In case the alignment integration is not available, you can create your alignment integration type.")
2. [Generate default mapping configurations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/OBgvis4MpX0njJEwgdTRhQ "Generate default mapping configurations to create table maps for the available applications.")
3. [Create custom mapping configurations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/5H7dcf13JN_VhtBKVFYmIw "Create mapping configurations for planning items that are not created by default such as features, stories, etc.") (Optional)
