TheCMDB Data Manageris the ServiceNow capability responsible for generatingactionable governance tasksand assigning them to CI class owners and data stewards. These tasks appear directly in the“My Work”tab within the CMDB Workspace, enabling proactive and role-based CMDB governance.

CMDB Data Manager focuses ondata lifecycle management, including archival, retirement, and cleanup of CIs based on defined policies. When lifecycle rules or retention thresholds are met—or when human validation is required—the Data Manager creates tasks to prompt responsible owners to take action. This ensures that CMDB data remainsaccurate, compliant, and leanover time.

TheCMDB Health Dashboard(Option C) provides visibility into health metrics such as completeness, correctness, and compliance, but it doesnot generate tasks. Similarly,De-duplication templates(Option A) support duplicate identification and remediation workflows, but they do not create ongoing governance tasks in the CMDB Workspace.

By surfacing tasks in “My Work,” CMDB Data Manager operationalizes governance and embeds accountability into daily workflows, which is a key principle of CMDB Data Foundations.

Therefore, the correct answer isOption B – CMDB Data Manager.
