44. SLAs
Service Level Agreements
agreementexpectation
a SLA is a contract
between a service provider and the user/
customer that defines the level of service
expected from the service provider
i.e. we expect an item to flow through the process and exit
in 5 days or less with an 85% probability of success
45. SLAs – some hints
do not set a SLA without analyzing Lead Time data
do not allow a SLA to be set by someone external to
your group
do not set a SLA without collaborating with
customers and/or other stakeholders
use different SLAs for different Work Item Types
56. a possible approach
understand sources of dissatisfaction
analyze demand & capacity
discover work item types
measure flow
set SLAs
setup metric based improvement experiments
(similar to STATIK…)
57. obsessions you should have
improve process continuously
remove problems/impediments asap
get help from metrics
