ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM) Implementation Training
Course 2532
- Duration: 3 days
- Exam Voucher: Yes
- Language: English
- Level: Intermediate
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. The ServiceNow ITSM Implementation course puts those basic capabilities to use. It provides practical skills that may be applied immediately to accelerate ITSM implementations.
This course aligns with common and practical implementation scenarios and challenges when configuring a ServiceNow instance for implementation, using a low-code or no-code approach.
This course focuses on the baseline capabilities, security, and architecture of these ITSM applications and processes:
- Incident Management
- Problem Management
- Change Management
- Service Catalog and Request Management
- Service Portfolio Management
Information on Configuration Management (including Common Service Data Model) and Release Management, and how they are used to support the ITSM applications listed above, is also provided.

Unlike ITSM Fundamentals, which focuses on the “what” ITSM applications are and their purpose, the ServiceNow ITSM Implementation course is focused on the “how” and “why”, by providing attendees with the skills and information necessary to configure ITSM applications to fit the needs of an organisation.
Unlike videos on YouTube, which offer no student interaction or hands-on exercises and may reflect older versions of the platform, the ServiceNow ITSM Implementation course is up-to-date, in-depth, and aligned with common and practical configuration and usage scenarios and challenges.
ServiceNow ITSM Implementation is a 3-day course taught both as Instructor-led training (ILT) and Virtual Instructor-led training (VILT) in multiple time zones throughout the world.
Demonstrations
Multiple demonstrations are provided throughout the course to aid students in visualising the lecture concepts. These demonstrations may be presented live by the instructor or via pre-recorded video demonstrations.
Structured Discussions
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 organisations.
Hands-On
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.
Group Activities
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.
