Before we got here,
here's what wasn't working.
A series of custom ServiceNow dashboard implementations for enterprise ITSM clients. The project involved building custom widgets, table configurations, and Glide scripting to surface operational KPIs and SLA adherence data that the out-of-box dashboards could not provide.
We confirmed every challenge with the team before writing a line of production code. The right column lists the pain points we tackled head-on and how we approached each one.
What wasn't working
BEFOREServiceNow platform version constraints limiting modern JavaScript features
Used a build transpilation step to polyfill ES6+ features and bundled them as Service Portal static assets.
Don't over-engineer.
Solve what matters, ship fast.
The instinct on complex projects is to rebuild everything from scratch. We pushed back. A full rewrite often means months of regressions while engineering rebuilds features that were already working.
We mapped the existing workflow against actual usage. The result was clear: a small set of features accounted for the majority of user time. We rebuilt the core, shipped fast, and extended outward.
On the technical side, we made clear decisions early and held them. The right column shows what we chose, and why.

4 features that
define the product experience.

What changed,
measured against the day-one baseline.
We benchmark before we touch anything, logging every metric below against its state before we wrote a line of production code.
