    Shared Spaces for collaboration
    Shared Spaces enable teams across the organization to work on common objectives using a single workspace.
    • Create a space for your team to manage any kind of work such as projects, campaigns, or surveys.
    • Create unlimited Boards to plan tasks and Docs to manage meeting notes and related documentation within Spaces.
    • Organize Boards and Docs of a Space into folders.
    • Associate Boards and tasks to organizational goals so that team members have direct visibility into the alignment of their work with overall strategy.
    Flexible Boards for task management
    Configure a flexible task Board without the involvement of a system admin. Organize work in a way that works best for your team.
    • Track work in the form of Tasks, Defects, or custom work item types. Some examples of custom work item types are Milestone, Meeting, and Activity.
    • Visualize work in customizable List, Gantt, and Kanban views.
    • Create custom fields for task records such as Dropdown, Date, Text, Label, URL, Reference and others.
    Automations for tasks in Boards
    Using predefined templates, add conditions to automate various actions for your tasks. Examples of automated actions include sending an email when a task assignment is changed, updating task priority when the due date is moved, or reassigning tasks when the priority is changed. You can edit these conditions anytime to verify that your task automations reflect the changes made to your team's workflow.
    Collaborative documentation
    Manage different types of documentation such as meeting notes, project requirements, or event details from a single location and avoid using multiple disconnected tools. Within a Doc, you can:
    • Create unlimited pages with rich-text formatting.
    • Tag users to their action items by @-mentioning them.
    • Insert media and URLs.
    • Add reference to CWM tasks or other ServiceNow AI Platform records such as Issues, Incidents, or Risks.
    • Collaborate with other users with the feature of live user presence.
    Connecting to Planning portfolios
    Configure lenses of Strategic Planning or Portfolio Planning workspaces to include CWM Boards as a planning item so that you can plan and roadmap Boards in a portfolio plan.
