Make Your Enterprise Data Human—and Actionable.
YouDesign is your visual teamspace to design, plan, and execute transformation—natively on ServiceNow.
Unlike whiteboards or static diagrams, every element in YouDesign is connected to live ServiceNow data. That means what you sketch isn’t just a drawing—it’s real. It’s part of your architecture, your portfolio, your strategy. You can analyze it, approve it, track it, and bring it to life.
YouDesign replaces traditional ServiceNow list views, form views, reports, and dashboards with a single, intuitive board where users can explore data, add context, make decisions, and take action, all in one place. Everything happens right inside YouDesign: create models, comment, present, and even kick off workflows, without ever leaving the canvas. It’s a completely new way to work in ServiceNow—more visual, more collaborative, and instantly understandable for everyone.

YouDesign Your Transformation
Infinite Boards
Break free from static modeling. YouDesign gives you an infinite visual canvas to bring everything together—diagrams, dashboards, notes, data, images, and tasks—all in one place. It’s your central hub for planning, designing, and executing transformation.
Current State Modeling
What you see is always up to date. YouDesign syncs live with ServiceNow, giving you a real-time view of your enterprise. No refreshes. No manual exports. Just one living model, directly connected to your architecture, applications, and services.
Future State Planning
Plan what’s next—without touching production data. Overlay future-state designs, model what-if scenarios, and safely explore changes before publishing. Perfect for roadmaps, capability evolution, and transformation planning.
Interactive Visualizations
Make complexity simple. Explore your data through interactive visualizations like Context Map, Hierarchy Map, Lifecycle Roadmap, Kanban, and List View. These views help you track structure, flow, and progress—backed by real-time data.
Templates (Global, Teamspace & Personal)
Start fast with ready-to-use templates for strategy, planning, and collaboration—including Business Model Canvas, SWOT, PESTLE, OKR, Lean Canvas, and more. YouDesign supports global templates for standardization, teamspace templates for domain-specific use, and personal templates for individual workflows. Whether you’re brainstorming, aligning stakeholders, or launching a new initiative—you’re never starting from scratch.
HOP (Hop Through Relationships)
Explore your data like never before. The HOP feature lets you visually navigate connected elements across multiple levels—right on your board. Click the rabbit icon to expand relationships up to 5 hops deep, choose specific tables and links, and instantly visualize how everything is connected. With real-time loading and a non-blocking UI, HOP brings hidden dependencies and deep insights to light to track your data-lineage.
Realtime Indicators
See your data come to life. Set up visual indicators for metrics like cost, risk, value, and lifecycle status. Shapes light up with real-time insights, helping you make confident decisions, even in live sessions or boardroom reviews.
Live Data Editing
Work directly with real ServiceNow data—no list views, forms, or external tools. YouDesign’s Data Hub and Data Panel lets you view and update records right from the canvas while maintaining governance and data integrity.
Teamspaces
Support federated teams with tailored environments. With Teamspaces, you can define access, shapes, boards, and views by role or domain—whether for architects, risk managers, business owners, or CX teams.
Real-Time Collaboration (Experimental Mode)
Co-edit boards, comment in context, and watch ideas come to life with secure, real-time collaboration. Built entirely within ServiceNow—no need for third-party tools or sync hacks.
Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode turns any board into a read-only, interactive experience, perfect for workshops, stakeholder reviews, or executive briefings. Invite others to explore content, drill into diagrams, and navigate across frames. It’s the ideal way to share complex information for consumption, alignment, approval, or decision-making, all while keeping your models secure and intact.
Modern User Interface
YouDesign replaces the traditional ServiceNow UI with a completely modern visual experience—no list views, no form clutter. Navigate, create, and present with minimal clicks and zero friction. Whether you’re modeling, reviewing, or collaborating, everything happens inside a sleek, intuitive interface.
High Performance & Security
YouDesign runs entirely within your own ServiceNow instance—not on a separate platform. That means no external data exchange, no integrations, and no duplication. It leverages ServiceNow’s enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure and secure data centers, ensuring high availability, compliance, and performance by design.
