Key takeaways

The most important things to know
Through customer interviews, we’ve identified the two most important steps to support DevOps with ServiceNow:

1. Do your homework. Learn how DevOps is working at your organization—how many teams there are, how they work, what tools they use, etc.—so you know how to support your DevOps teams effectively.

2. Identify and implement an initial use case (typically change automation) that can deliver value to many DevOps teams in your organization by integrating ServiceNow with DevOps tools (such as CI/CD pipeline tools) and improving and/or modifying operations on ServiceNow as needed.

The payoff of getting this right

• You’ll help your organization realize the expected value from DevOps by providing an effective system of record that is responsive enough to support the operational needs of continuous integration and continuous deployment.
• You’ll help maximize the value provided by operations supported on ServiceNow by ensuring that they get operationally relevant information from DevOps tools.
• You’ll prepare operations supported by ServiceNow to keep pace with DevOps demand, for example, increasing your rate of change.
