Deploying asset tasks during the retirement of an asset means using the ServiceNow Enterprise Asset Workflow Automation feature, which automates the end-of-life procedures for assets that are no longer needed or functional1.

This feature allows you to flag assets as retired pending disposal, triggering a workflow that verifies the asset condition, determines the disposal method, and saves the disposal certificates1.

The two primary benefits of deploying asset tasks during the retirement of an asset are:

Reduces manual intervention: By automating the retirement process, you can eliminate the need for manual data entry, human errors, and delays. You can also ensure compliance with policies and regulations by following a standardized procedure12.

Increases speed of updates: By using the ServiceNow Agent mobile app, you can scan asset tags and barcodes, update asset status and inventory, and complete asset tasks on the go. This can increase the speed and accuracy of asset updates and reduce the risk of data loss or duplication13. References:
