    About this task

    Use the Prioritization page of your portfolio plan to add new planning items or import them from other ServiceNow execution system such as PPM, Agile Development 2.0, or SAFe.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Strategic Planning Workspace > Portfolio Planning.
    2. From the list of portfolio plans, select one and then select Planning.
    3. From the Prioritization page, select List view.
    4. Select the More actions icon (More actions icon.) of the planning item that you want to copy and then select Duplicate.
      The new planning item is created and the item appears right below the planning item you copied from. Also, the rank is updated for the new planning item automatically based on the rank of the planning item you copied from.

      By default, the name is Copy of ABC where ABC is the name of the planning item you copied from.

    5. Optional: If you're using PPM, Agile Development 2.0, or SAFe to execute the planned work, you can also import your work items from these applications.
