Learn core ServiceNow ITSM process lifecycles and the value of ServiceNow ITSM applications for managing IT Services.
IT Service Management (ITSM) is a concept that involves delivery of IT services to customers and users. Most IT services are centered around technology and the support and maintenance activities that must occur to operate and maintain the technology.
In this course users will learn core ServiceNow ITSM process lifecycles and the value of ServiceNow ITSM applications for managing IT Services.
This Course focuses on the baseline capabilities and the touch points between Service Catalog and Request Fulfillment, Incident Management, Problem Management, Change Management
This course also provides general information on ITSM supporting applications, such as Configuration Management and Knowledge Management, as well as ITSM Professional applications.
Multiple demonstrations are provided throughout the course to aid students in visualizing the lecture concepts.
Though classroom discussion will occur throughout the course, several specific discussion points have been identified within the course to aid students in increasing comprehension of the material as well as to aid in applying the concepts learned to their individual roles and organizations.
Extensive hands-on exercises are included with each course module to reinforce the lecture concepts and provide practical experience. Exercises are performed in a personal dedicated training instance.
Several instructor-led group activities such as knowledge checks, concept reviews, and open discussions are embedded throughout the course flow. Participants are able to validate their newly acquired knowledge as well as benefit from real-life business scenarios shared by fellow students.
Unlike ServiceNow Fundamentals, which has a broader focus on the platform, the ServiceNow ITSM Fundamentals course is focused on providing attendees with the skills necessary to manage service requests, changes, incidents, and problems within the ServiceNow platform.
During this two-day interactive training course, students access the ServiceNow platform and the ITSM applications in their own student instance, which is a “safe sandbox” loaded with demo and test data.
The course weaves a scenario throughout to present real-world application of ITSM practices. The class features lecture, demonstrations, structured and open discussions, as well as extensive hands-on practice and reinforcement delivered in a variety of labs.
