You can leverage a few Service Operations Workspace integrations to start operating IT services in your organization and set a path for your organization's performance and process improvements.

## An agent's journey when starting the operation of IT services {#enhancing-services-operations-in-organization__section_phz_vsk_pdc}

* An agent can start the day by looking at an overview of assignments, outages, service announcements, and assignments in Service Operations Workspace to prioritize work based on service level agreements (SLAs), priority level, and urgency.
* The agent can look at the incoming interactions and resolve it through existing help resources.
* If more help is required, the agent can create an incident from the interaction based on the issue reported. Since the agent has access to related incidents and recent interactions, better and faster support can be provided. Agent also has access to all related information from the incident record page.
