Service Level Agreement (SLA)

What is Service Level Agreement (SLA)?

A contract that defines the quality, availability, and responsibilities for a service.

Think of it like this…

A service performance checklist both sides agree to.

Why does it matter?

  • Clarifies what the service includes
  • Sets standards for response times and quality
  • Helps resolve disputes over performance

Best practice

Review SLAs regularly to make sure they’re realistic and up to date.
