services portfolio content to plan and create your service portfolio. Consider the sample
structure as a starting point. You can add to it or modify it to suit the specific needs of
your organization.

## About this task

The Sample IT service portfolio provides usable data in the form of portfolios, taxonomy layers, and taxonomy nodes. It also provides demo data in the form of services, service offerings, incidents, commitments, and more.

You can view the Sample IT service portfolio content with any Service Portfolio Management role. To create portfolios or to manage the taxonomy nodes, you must have either the portfolio_admin role or the service_editor role.

You can view the sample content in both the Service Portfolio Management application and in the Digital Portfolio Management (DPM) Workspace.
