A service level agreement specifies an agreed service level through testable criteria, such as first-response and resolution targets. A broader service contract need not contain such measurable commitments. Responding and resolving are also different outcomes.[1]
Agree on start events, business hours, pauses and responsibilities before evaluating a time target. A clock paused while awaiting customer information differs from elapsed calendar hours. Specify escalation or any agreed consequence of failure, without presenting an internal target as an unconditional customer guarantee.
