Should ITSM Beginners Start With Incident Management and Service Requests?

IT support teams handle daily issues such as login failures, software errors, access requests and system interruptions. A clear process helps teams record each issue, assign it to the right person and keep users updated until it is resolved. ServiceNow can support this work through structured workflows for incidents, service requests, problems and changes. For example, when an employee cannot access a key business application, the team must log the issue, assess its priority, investigate the cause, communicate progress and document the solution. For new learners, practical scenarios like this can make IT service management easier to understand. They also help learners practise forms, assignment rules, workflows and the incident lifecycle. Do you think beginners should master incident management and service requests before moving to advanced ServiceNow features? Share your experience.
