Share highly customizable Blameless Retrospectives as ServiceNow Problems

For many organizations, ServiceNow is a crucial platform to run and scale your organization across all departments. Many organizations’ engineering teams have been relying on ServiceNow Incident and Problem Management. Despite that, many have been experiencing a growing volume of incidents hindering their ability to scale not only their incident response but also their retrospective operations, potentially compromising their data governance and compliance requirements.

After the resolution of incidents through Blameless, which is tightly integrated with ServiceNow Incident management (Blameless app in the ServiceNow store), engineering teams can also leverage Blameless’ highly customizable integration of its Retrospective workflow with ServiceNow Problems. This allows them to deliver higher quality Retrospectives at a faster pace with all the mandatory data needed to measure, learn and improve your incident response operations, without compromising data governance and compliance.

With Blameless, the learning from retrospectives makes it easier and more effective to identify what needs to be improved to reduce the chance for similar incidents to occur again and reduce the time it takes to resolve incidents.

Key Features

To achieve this level of performance and excellence, Blameless provides the following key features:

• Auto-creating a ServiceNow Problem for each Retrospective
• Auto-saving customizable Retrospective data to Service Problems

Key Retrospective custom tab properties:

• Activate and deactivate the custom tab
• Customize the tab name
• Display the custom tab in Retrospectives only matching a selected list of incident types
