Legacy: Change Velocity dashboard

Use this dashboard to track the average duration of change requests in the last 30 days.

Important:

Starting in Xanadu release, the Change dashboard is deprecated. Users can use Change dashboard to view, and track the open changes.

The Change Velocity dashboard is divided into the following tabs for effective usage. The ServiceNow® Performance Analytics capability in the Change Velocity dashboard provides the following benefits:

  • The Current Pipeline tab provides insights into current change activity. The Historical Pipeline tab provides details on trends and patterns associated with the change management process flow. The Process KPIs tab represents a modern set of Change KPIs that are used to evaluate the change process.
