What SLA and how to improve SLA and increase the service to avoid the failure

Question

For the past two months we have failed the SLA for our customers engagement. Both failures required a service credit. The client is clearly frustrated and internal teams have worked hard to address this without success. A failure in month three is considered breach. What is your strategy in month three to avoid another failure and who needs to be engaged in this strategy?

Rasha Maarabouni · Answer

A service-level agreement (SLA) is simply a document describing the level of service expected by a customer from a supplier, laying out the metrics by which that service is measured, and the remedies or penalties, if any, should the agreed-upon levels not be achieved. Usually, SLAs are between companies and external suppliers, but they may also be between two departments within a company.

Most service providers make statistics available, often on a Web portal. There,

customers can check whether SLAs are being met, and whether they're entitled to

service credits or other penalties as laid out in the SLA.However, for mission-

critical services where the business itself is at risk if service levels are not met, it

may be worth considering using a third-party monitoring organization or an SLA

management tool to supplement the vendor's data. The extra expense of these

additional methods can be worthwhile for critical services.

It stands for Service Level Agreement. It outlines the commitments to be made by one party to another regarding operations - technology or some other function. It can be internal between different departments like operations department and retail business department, or it can be external in the form of one company providing services to another with a minimum level of service specified in the agreement. Its goal is mostly to keep operations of business uniform and not deviate from the agreed terms.

Brainstorm among the team members and do the RCA for the failure. Please involve Sr. Management and send out the SLA report on a weekly basis as a proactive measure. Your QA member should be driving this whole exercise.
