Service Level Objective Management

Service Level Objective Management (SLO Management) helps your organization define, track, and meet agreed-upon service quality standards. It works alongside Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to help make sure that services meet customer expectations.

Overview of how SLO Management works

  • SLAs set the expectations

    SLAs are formal agreements that outline the level of service a customer can expect. SLAs can include response times, resolution times, and uptime targets.

  • SLOs defines how to meet expectations

    SLOs are specific, measurable objectives that an organization sets to achieve the SLAs. They translate the broad goals of the SLA into actionable metrics.

  • ServiceNow SLO Management helps manage SLOs. It offers functionalities to:
