Certifications validate knowledge—but they don’t create architects.

A great ServiceNow architect thinks beyond features and asks:

• Will this scale?
• Will this survive upgrades?
• Will someone understand this two years from now?

In real projects, architecture is about trade-offs. Choosing simplicity over customization. Governance over shortcuts. Platform consistency over isolated wins.

The strongest architects I’ve worked with:

• Design for people , not just systems
• Balance business urgency with platform health
• Say “no” when needed—and explain why

Architecture is also about influence. An architect must guide developers, stakeholders, and leadership toward sustainable decisions without blocking progress.

Key takeaway:

A ServiceNow architect isn’t measured by certifications—but by how well the platform performs after the project ends.
