Which stage is NOT part of the ServiceNow Implementation Methodology?

The stage that is not part of the ServiceNow Implementation Methodology is "Develop." In the ServiceNow Implementation Methodology, the process is divided into specific stages that guide the implementation from start to finish.

The key stages typically include "Plan," which focuses on defining the scope, goals, and resources for the project; "Create," which involves building and configuring the system to meet the defined requirements; and "Close," which is the final stage, ensuring that the project is completed, all deliverables are met, and appropriate handover occurs to the operations team.

While "Develop" may seem like it could fit into the implementation process, it is not explicitly named as a distinct stage in the ServiceNow framework. Instead, activities that might fall under development are actually encompassed in the "Create" stage, which includes configuration, customization, and actual building of the solution. This distinction is significant for understanding how ServiceNow organizes its implementation processes and the terminology it uses. Therefore, "Develop" lacks clarity as a standalone phase within the structured methodology.
