'''SLA Management or Service Level Agreement Management''' is the ongoing [[Process|process]] of ensuring all provided [[Service|services]] and processes — including the underlying [[Contract|contracts]] — are in alignment with the agreed-upon service level targets stipulated by the contract. From the creation of [[IT Help Desk|help desk]] tickets to retrospective reporting and regular [[Customer|customer]] feedback, [[Service Level Agreement (SLA)|SLA]] monitoring helps to protect the [[Business|business]] — and ensure your [[Customer Satisfaction|customers are satisfied]]. Because strong SLAs will specify the measurement criteria for the agreed upon services and responsibilities, proper SLA management also involves remaining attentive to those [[Metrics|metrics]].Definition - What Does SLA Management Mean?
