Systems and methods for playbook automation are described. In one aspect, a user selects operational knowledge associated with an application. The user associates one or more playbook-based tasks, playbook-based views, or playbook-based links with the operational knowledge. The playbook-based tasks, playbook-based views, and playbook-based links are for diagnosing, resolving, and/or verifying a problem associated with the application. The systems and methods generate an integrated management pack from the associated operational knowledge and at least one of the one or more playbook-based tasks, playbook-based views, or playbook-based links.
