Include analytics requirements during the design phase to enable meaningful reporting and insights from the start. Analytics cannot be an afterthought. Defining KPIs and reporting needs during app design ensures that data is
captured correctly and supports dashboards, performance metrics, and decision-making.

## Key Considerations {#planning-analytics-analysis__section_zq4_flh_qhc}

* Identify business KPIs and reporting requirements upfront.
* Ensure your data model supports queries for analytics and dashboards.
* Plan for integration with ServiceNow Performance Analytics and reporting tools.
* Consider data retention and compliance requirements for analysis.
