Populate the **Type** field for strategic priorities, the **Category** field for goals, and the **Investment type** field for planning items with the **Artificial Intelligence** option to monitor their progress in the AI Control Tower workspace. For more information, see [Create a strategic priority](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/goal-framework/create-strategic-priority.md), [Create a goal](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/scenario-planning-in-spw/create-goal-egm.md), and [Add a planning item](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/scenario-planning-in-spw/add-new-items-to-backlog-alignment-planner-workspace.md). When AI Control Tower is installed, the **AI strategy** tab appears in the AI Control Tower workspace, featuring different widgets for AI strategies, goals, targets, costs of planning items, prioritized work, and RIDAC details. For more information, see [AI strategy tab in AI Control Tower](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/intelligent-experiences/ai-strategy-ai-control-tower.md). ## Strategic Planning with Digital Product Release workspace Using the Digital Product lens, product managers can plan, prioritize, and roadmap the work for digital products by aligning with the business strategy. As part of planning when you associate planning items with the product enhancement in the Strategic Planning Workspace, those associated planning items appear in the **Planning items** tab of the Release scope page in ServiceNow Digital Product Release workspace. This tab helps product managers track the status of the planning items associated with the product enhancements in the Digital Product Release workspace itself to ease the release management for their products. For more information, see [Scope of a release](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/it-service-management/dpr-work-release-scope.md). ## Strategic Planning with Collaborative Work Management With the integration of ServiceNow Collaborative Work Management \(CWM\) with Strategic Planning, you can plan, roadmap, and associate goals to Boards in a portfolio plan. By adding CWM Boards to a lens configuration, you can access them in the Prioritization, Roadmap, and Goals pages of a portfolio plan as planning items. The lenses supported to configure the CWM Board as a planning item are Organization, Project Portfolio, and Strategic Investments. For more information on integration of CWM with Strategic Planning, see [Connecting CWM with Strategic Planning or Portfolio Planning](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/connect-cwm-spw.md).

For information on ServiceNow Enterprise Architecture Workspace, see [Enterprise Architecture Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/application-portfolio-management/ea-workspace.md). ## Strategic Planning with Digital Portfolio Management Integrate ServiceNow Digital Portfolio Management \(DPM\) with Strategic Planning to provide DPM managers the access to roadmap planning. With this integration, you can: - Optimize portfolio performance by monitoring services and their performance levels in a comprehensive roadmap. - Make informed budgetary decisions and deliver shared outcomes by prioritizing backlogs and managing roadmaps of business applications.
