# Connect an EAP team with CWM

Establish a connection to CWM by setting your EAP team's Agile tool to Collaborative Work Management.

## Before you begin

Ensure that **Application Scope** of your ServiceNow instance is set to **Strategic Planning**.

Role required: sn\_apw\_advanced.eap\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Strategic Planning Workspace**.

2.  From the **Settings** menu, select **Enterprise Agile Planning** > **Agile structure**.

3.  Select an EAP team that you want to connect with CWM.

4.  Set the **Team agile tool** field to **Collaborative Work Management**.

-   A Space and Board are created for this team in Collaborative Work Management.

-   The Backlog and Hierarchy tabs remain available for this team in EAP, but the **Start Sprint** and **Complete Sprint** options are no longer available there. Start and complete sprints from the Collaborative Work Management Board instead.

Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Collaborative Work Management** to start managing this team's work.
