01 / Business Challenge
- Needed strict governance around handling Priority 1 / Severity 1 incidents.
- SLA calculations were failing during complex incident state transitions.
- Automated test coverage (ATF) was brittle, causing delays in deploying critical platform updates.
- Knowledge management lacked proper security segmentation for different audiences.
02 / Our Approach
How we executed this engagement in practice. The phases below describe the delivery rhythm we use across ServiceNow, custom engineering, and mobile programs.
We adopted a highly rigorous, demo-driven delivery model. We combined form-level controls with workflow logic to balance automation with required governance. We deeply investigated edge-case SLA defects and rebuilt the Automated Test Framework (ATF) suites to guarantee release safety.
Phase 01
Discovery & alignment
Workshops, process and systems review, success metrics, and scope clarity.
Phase 02
Design & planning
Architecture, experience and workflow design, risks, and a concrete delivery plan.
Phase 03
Build & validation
Implementation, integration, testing, demos, and refinements with your teams.
Phase 04
Go-live & enablement
Controlled rollout, training and documentation, handover, and post-launch tuning.
- Configured Major Incident management with automated promotion criteria, communication plans, and bridge call logic.
- Corrected complex SLA cancellation and reattachment logic to ensure flawless tracking during severity changes.
- Restructured Knowledge Management with strict user criteria for audience segmentation and enhanced search relevance.
- Repaired and optimized Automated Test Framework (ATF) suites for Incident, Major Incident, and Knowledge areas.
- Built reusable Flow Designer components for REST API integrations and Slack notifications.
