The four ServiceNow UX Accelerators—Catalog Request Experience Review, Design for Employee Center, Portal Experience Review, and Taxonomy Review & Design—are strategically designed to work together as a comprehensive framework to improve user experiences across your ServiceNow implementation. Together, they address every stage of the user journey, ensuring seamless interaction, effective content organization, and enhanced usability. Here's how they fit into a cohesive journey:

1. Foundation: Building Strong Content and Navigation

The Taxonomy Review & Design accelerator lays the groundwork for your digital platform by creating a clear, structured content taxonomy. It ensures that your portal’s Knowledge and Catalog areas are easy to navigate, making information accessible and intuitive for users. This step focuses on:

• Organizing content logically.
• Establishing best practices for information architecture.
• Optimizing navigation to reduce user friction.

This foundational work supports all subsequent UX enhancements by providing a structured framework for content and user flows.

1. Optimizing Service Requests and Data Collection

Once the taxonomy is in place, the Catalog Request Experience Review accelerator tackles specific usability challenges within your service catalogs. It focuses on:

• Streamlining form design for better usability.
• Improving the accuracy and quality of submitted data.
• Addressing user pain points with complex or unintuitive forms.

This step ensures that service request forms are efficient and easy to use, reducing frustration and increasing task completion rates.

1. Enhancing Employee Experiences

With content structure and catalog forms optimized, the Design for Employee Center accelerator ensures your Employee Center becomes a hub of productivity and engagement. It focuses on:

• Designing a user-centric Employee Center tailored to employee needs.
• Aligning stakeholders and defining personas to guide design decisions.
• Enhancing the visual design, branding, and usability of the platform.

This step transforms the Employee Center into a central, intuitive resource for employees, driving adoption and satisfaction.

1. Transforming the Overall Portal Experience

The final piece of the journey, the Portal Experience Review, brings everything together by evaluating the portal holistically. It focuses on:

• Streamlining navigation and content discoverability.
• Conducting usability studies to identify and resolve user pain points.
• Ensuring the portal design aligns with user expectations and organizational goals.

This accelerator ties all improvements into a cohesive, user-friendly experience, ensuring your portal becomes an engaging and efficient digital destination.
