ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management Primary Use Case
SH
Shadab Hussain
Architect at Mindsprint
The main use cases of ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management are project management and resource management. For example, resource management includes tracking the billing rate of architects, product owners, tech leads, or developers, which will be part of resource management. By using the rate card, it associates with a project to determine overall project costing and generates status reports. There's a proper format where Microsoft PowerPoint is used for presentations, and ServiceNow can generate a similar status report.
Additionally, onboarding projects from other tools such as Microsoft Project Planner into ServiceNow is a use case, including exporting Excel files for use in Microsoft Project Planner.
The integration of ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management with other ServiceNow modules improves workflow efficiency by calculating overall project costs associated with vendor management. Each vendor is responsible for multiple projects, and costs can be derived from the project, asset, or contractual portfolio.
ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management integrates with the SLM, vendor management, and the contract management modules. When I open a vendor workspace, I can see associated costs, and in the CSDM implementation, services can be tagged against a project for better tracking. This process integration includes project portfolio management, CSDM, vendor management, and contract management.

View full review »We primarily use ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management for demand management, resource management, and Agile Management. It's integrated with another solution where our portfolio data resides, but ServiceNow supports our information and processes enabling seamless connectivity to our portfolio. We've utilized certain aspects of the platform during this time, although not the entire range of features, focusing more on specific functionalities rather than a comprehensive implementation across all areas from idea management to HR.
View full review »There were specific use cases. We focused on the technology portfolio, trying to understand how to reduce the impact of software end-of-life on various business services. We had to integrate the data structures associated with the technology portfolio with the CMDB to understand which applications or services would be potentially impacted if the particular hardware or software associated with them or supporting them wasn't upgraded or updated over the next few months or so, based on their technology life cycle. That's one use case that was prominent for one of our customers in the UK. We use it across programs to track and manage our requirements. The requirement management process is handled through the Requirement Application, and delivery is tracked via a separate classification.

However, we were not too happy with the analytics and the dashboards in the past with the Clarity product, their PPM product. That is when we migrated to ServiceNow. The main use case predominantly concerns demand management, forecasting, and portfolio management. The whole ITBM right now is also known as Strategic Portfolio Management. It's the whole portfolio across the practice as an entire thing managed through that. It's our whole go-to platform for managing merger planning. It is an enterprise agile planning tool.
View full review »We wanted to build not just in operations but a whole system, service portfolio, and strategic portfolio. We're using it to map the IT strategy and our capabilities. Our service portfolio could help us form a long-term perspective to see where our deficiencies are and continuously improve.
We only started to use it last year because I took an administrator's course to understand how it all works, and I started to iteratively build onto that. Now, we have a full strategic portfolio management of our current capabilities against our workforce, the business needs, and what we're servicing. We have metrics against that to see where we're failing or what we're good at.
We're using the latest version of the solution.
The solution is deployed on cloud.
There are 10 people using this solution. It's used occasionally, not daily. We have plans to increase usage. I set up the demand management side, and we're starting to have regular catchups and get the business to start registering the demand so we can do roadmap planning. It's going to be used a lot more in the next coming months.
