Digital Portfolio Management life-cycle management

The Digital Portfolio Management (DPM) Workspace enables you to work in the plan-build-run life-cycle model. You can manage solutions that you own and view solutions that may have an impact on services or products that you care about.

The DPM plan-build-run life cycle surfaces data from other ServiceNow® products in a central location. To view data and take basic actions in the DPM experience, you must install the plugins and roles. For more information, see Digital Portfolio Management related applications and data sources.

Listen to an overview of the DPM team, the application, and how it works for solution owners in the plan-build-run life cycle: TechBytes, Episode 63.

The life-cycle management phases come standard with DPM but all records are fully configurable to match how you work. For information on how Admins can control the configuration in DPM, see Configure the Digital Portfolio Management experience. For information about other configurations, see UI Builder.
