Show full answer Show less ## Upgrade Preparation and Important Information * Before upgrading to Yokohama, customers should review and complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks as needed. * For both Xanadu and Yokohama releases, there were no new features, changes, removals, activation instructions, additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility information, localization considerations, or highlights introduced for SAFe. ## Deprecations While no new deprecations were introduced in Yokohama, the Xanadu release marked several SAFe-related plugins as deprecated. These plugins cannot be newly activated but remain usable by existing customers: * Essential SAFe (com.snc.sdlc.safe) * Portfolio SAFe (com.snc.sdlc.portfoliosafe) * Performance Analytics Content Pack for Essential SAFe (com.snsafedashboards) * Work Progress Status for SAFe (com.snsafeprogress) * Agile - Scaled Agile Framework - Unified Backlog (com.snc.sdlc.safe.multitask) * Read-only roles for SAFe ServiceNow recommends transitioning to the **Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP)** capability within the Strategic Planning application as an alternative. EAP provides flexible SAFe features with enhanced team and work hierarchy configurations, along with an interactive workspace to streamline communication and collaboration across teams. ## What This Means for ServiceNow Customers * Customers upgrading from Xanadu to Yokohama will not encounter any new SAFe features, removals, or changes but should be aware of deprecated plugins that are no longer available for new activation. * Existing users of deprecated SAFe plugins can continue their use, but ServiceNow encourages moving to Enterprise Agile Planning for a more flexible and collaborative SAFe experience. * No changes to browser requirements, accessibility compliance, or localization affect the SAFe framework in this upgrade cycle. * This release notes consolidation facilitates a streamlined upgrade process by clearly indicating where updates or lack thereof apply, helping customers plan accordingly.
